Notes:
Publication of 1993 conference papers. The conference sought to adopt a 'fresh look' at the subject of engineering biography and examine in detail two historiographical problems: first, the selection of engineers for immortalisation ... and, second, the accumulation within engineering biography of a folk tradition which has affected scholarly works as well as popular history'. Largely comprises case studies of individual engineers. For relevant entries see individual BHE entries
