PREFACIO
Cuando 10s originales del Engineers' Dictionary quedaron listos en 1943, la segunda guerra mundial estaba en su apogeo y esto llev6 a la casa editora y a1 autor a convenir de que el libro no debia exceder de unas cuatrocientas cincuenta phginas. Alglin material debi6 ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante trataba detenidamente de ingenieria civil, no pudo contener muchos terminos usados en otras ramas de la ingenieria. Poco tiempo despues de su publicaci6n yo me retire del trabajo activo de ingenieria y desde entonces he 'cenido amplias oportunidades para dedicarme a la compilaci6n de un diccionario m6s extenso. El material que debi6 ser retirado se ha agregado ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de material nuevo. He consultado con muchos amiqos de la America Latina y en cada viaje he traido conmigo publicaciones tBcnicas de diversas clases como fuente de t6rminos espaiioles. Constantemente he escudriiiado las revistas de ingenieria y 10s libros nuevos publicados en ambos idiomas. El campo de acci6n sigue siendo la ingenieria y las referencias frecuentes a la quimica, la geologia o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias esten totalmente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitaria un volumen aparte. Los t6rminos incluidos de estas u otras materias son aquellos regularmente requeridos en un trabajo o estudio de ingenieria. Igual criterio se ha seguido en la selecci6n de algunos pocos terminos de finanzas, seguros y transportes. A1 ampliar la obra mis principales prop6sitos han sido 10s siguientes: Abarcar la ingenieria electrica y mec6nica en manera mucho m&s amplia. La radio que no se mencion6 para nada en la primera edici6n ha recibido cuidadoso estudio. Se han incluido tbrminos importantes de la televisi6n. Poner a1 dia todos 10s ramos de la ingenieria civil. Se ha dado especial atenci6n a la mec6nica de 10s suelos, a la fotogrametrfa y a1 proyecto y construcci6n de aeropuertos. Incluir 10s tBrminos m&simportantes correspondientes a mineria, arqgtectura naval, explotaci6n forestal, industria azucarera y campos petrolfferos. Una nueva adici6n es la indicaci6n de gknero de 10s substantives en espaiiol. E l objeto de un diccionario tecnico es proporcionar informaci6n que no se encuentra en otra parte. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todas y cada una de las palabras del idioma inglhs, afin las m6s tecnicas, per0 no abarca las frases que figuran en glosarios oficiales de las sociedades de ingenieria. Muchas de las palabras de ewe libro se encuentran tambien en 10s mejores diccionarios geaerales ingl6s-espaiiol. Buttress se encuentra en cualquiera de ellos, igualmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y tambien infernal se encuentran, pero no aguja infernal. La mayoria de mis esfuerzos se han vii

concentrado en el registro de significados o equivalentes de locuciones que no pueden expresarse con una sola palabra. La nomenclatura de piezas de maquinaria requiere un constante uso de buen criterio. Cada fabricante tiene su propia lista de piezas para cada mziquina y algunas mhquinas constan de tantas que llegan a1 millar. Las partes principales de una mLquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de 10s tbrminos como cojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y vzilvula, deben identificarse con un nombre la gran mayoria de las piezas componentes. A pesar de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todavfa que las definicionesestzin fuera de lugar en un diccionario tBcnico bilingue. El interesado que busca en un libro como Bste el tBrmino slip-ring motor quiere encontrar el equivalente aceptado en espafiol y no una descripci6n del motor. Las definiciones aumentarfan mucho el volumen del libro. La przictica seguida ha sido la de definir un tCrmino solamente a1 carecer de un equivalente satisfactorio y en algunos casos para evitar ambiguedades. Es obvio que existen en este libro muchas palabras, tanto en espafiol como en inglBs, que tienen otros signiicados ademits de 10s anotados. Se han omitido 10s significados no Mcnicos, asi como aquellos que pertenecen a la botzinica, zoologfa y otras ciencias de inter& muy relativo para el ingeniero. Algunos de 10s tBrminos de la obra original han sido criticados llamhndolos "ma1 espafiol". Un crftico me ha dicho que la incorporaci6n de tales tBrminos a un diccionario tiende a perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. Mi punto de vista es que la exactitud de 10s t6rminos tBcnicos en cualquier idioma es establecida por 10s tbcnicos que 10s crean y 10s usan, y la tarea del compilador del diccionario es la de registrar su uso. E n esta obra se trata de dar a 10s t6cnicos de habla inglesa de la AmCrica del Norte la terminologfa de ingenieria usada en 10s pafses de habla espafiola de America y viceversa. TBrminos tornados de publicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto se consideran expresiones usadas y "aceptadas". Para muchos miles de tBrminos en inglCs no hay equitralente en "buen espafiol" si se sigue el criterio de la Real Academia. Esta es la raz6n de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 tCrminos en el dccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster. Los equivalentes en espafiol de marcas de fzibrica o de comercio en inglBs presentan un problema. La simple aseveraci6n de que estos nombres no pueden traducirse no soluciona el problema, porque muchas traducciones son de uso corriente en 10s pafses de habia espafiola. Muchos de estos tBrminos ya se han incorporado a otros diccionarios en espafiol o en espafiol-inglBs. Hay propietarios de marcas de fzibrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentes en espaiioi para usarlos en SF propaganda. Yo he seguido la przictica de incluir todo tBrmino de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso tdcnico. Debe notarse que muchos tBrminos en-iPglCs de esta clase se han hecho tan conocidos que con la sanci6n de Webster regularmente se escriben sin mayliscula: Para la mayorfa de estos tBrminos hay equivalentes en espafiol igualmente bien establecidos. Muchos amigos que me proporcionaron consejos en la preparaci6n de la obra original me han ayudado de nuevo. Estoy particularmente agradecido a1 sefior George C. Bunker con quien he pasado muchas horas en Caracas. Ademzis de concederme amplio tiempo, me present6 a ingenieros venezolanos de quienes obtuve material de gran valor. Para nluchos tCrminos de icgenieria sanitaria,

tanto en ingl6s como en espafiol, tengo que agradecer a1 seiior Edmund B. Besselievre de la Dorr Company y a1 sefior Tomzis R. Yglesias de la ciudad de M6xico. El sefior Juan de Dios Tejada de la Habana me facilit6 su consejo experto en muchas cosas. El rocabulario de exploraci6n geoffsica tanto en inglCs como en espafiol me fu6 sunlinistrado por ingenieros de la Socony Vacuum Oil Company. L. A. R. Nueva York Septiembre, 1949

PREFACE
Under the war conditions of 1943, when the original Engineers' Dictionary was in preparation, publisher and author agreed that the book ought to be kept down to about 450 pages. Some material had to be laid aside, and although the resulting book dealt thoroughly with civil engineering, it could not go very far with the terms of other fields. Shortly after publication of the original book I retired from active work and have since found ample time to devote to the compilation of a much more comprehensive dictionary. The items formerly laid aside have been worked in and a mass of new material has been studied. I have consulted many friends in Latin America and from each trip have brought back technical publications of many kinds to be worked over for my Spanish terms. I have constantly combed the engineering periodicals and the newest books in both languages. My field is still engineering. Frequent references to chemistry, geology, or metallurgy do not mean that these subjects are covered. Each of them would need a volume of its own. Terms of these and other sciences here included are those which are regularly qeeded in connection with engineering work. The same criterion has governed the selection of a very few of the terms of finance, insurance, and transportation. In enlarging the book my principal objectives have been three:

1. To cover electrical and mechanical engineering much more thoroughly. Radio, of which the first edition had nothing, has been given thorough study. Important terms of television have been included. 2. To bring all branches of civil engineering up to date. Special attention has been given to photogrammetry, soil mechanics, and airport construction. 3. To include the important terms peculiar to mining, shipbuilding, logging, sugar milling, and oil-field operations.

A new feature is the notation of gender with all Spanish nouns. The purpose of a technical dictionary is to furnish information not found elsewhere. Webster's is supposed to include every word in the English language no matter how technical, but it does not cover the phrases that are listed in official glossaries of the engineering societies. Many of the words in this book will be found also in the best English-Spanish general dictionaries. Broad is found anywhere and so is irrigation, but not broad irrigation. Buttress is found and so is thread, but they cannot be combined into an equivalent for buttress thread. Most of my effort has gone into pinning down the phrases. The listing of machine parts calls for the constant use of judgment. Every manufacturer has his own list of parts for each machine, and some machines have parts running into the thousands. The principal members of a machine xi '

PREFACE

must be listed, and &th these, plus terms like bearing, cam, bolt, spring, roller, and valve, equivalents of the vast rhajority of part names may be written easily. I n spite of some advice to the contrary I still believe that definitions are out of place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user who turns to slipring motor in a book such as this wants the accepted Spanish equivalents of that term and is not looking for a description of a slip-ring motor. Definitions would add greatly to the book's bulk. My practice has been to define a term only in default of a satisfactory equivalent or occasionally to avoid ambiguity. Obviously there are many words here, both Spanish and English, that have meanings other than those given. Nontechnical meanings have usually been ignored, as have those which belong to botany, zoology, or other sciences that, do not concern the engineer. Some of the terms in the original book have been criticized as "bad Spanish." One critic tells nle that the listing of such terms in any dictionary tends to perpetuate them and does an injury to the language. My own view is that the correctness of technical terms in any language is established by the technical men who create them and use them, and the job of the dictionary maker is to record this usage. This book aims to give the North American technical man the accepted engineering terminology of Spanish America, and vice versa. Terms taken from official publications, from engineers' specifications, and from textbooks are "accep?dn terms. For many thousands of English technical terms there are no "good Spanish;' equivalents, if the Royal Academy is to be the criterion. This is the principal reason for the difference between some 125,000 entries in the Academy dictionary and 500,000 in Webster's. Spanish equivalents of English trade names are a problem. The simple statement that proprietary names cannot be translated does not cover the situation because they are regularly being translated in Spanish-speaking countries. Many such terms have already appeared in other dictionaries, both straight Spanish and English-Spanish. There are owners of English trade names who have deliberately created Spanish equivalents for use in their advertising. My rule has been to include every term of this kind that I have found in good technical use. It is to be noted also that there are a great many trade names in English that have become so well known that, with Webster's approval, they are regularly written without the capital letter. For most of the terms in this class there are Spanish equivalents equally well established. Many friends who advised with me in the preparation of the original book have again been helpful. I am particularly grateful to Mr. George C. Bunker with whom I have spent many hours in Caracas. Besides giving freely of his own time he introduced me to Venezuelan engineers from whom I obtained material of great value. For terms of sanitary engineering, both in English and in Spanish, I have to thank Mr. Edmund B. Besselievre of the Dorr Co. and Mr. T o m b R. Yglesias of Mexico City. Sefior Juan de Dios Tejada of Havana gave me his expert advice on many questions. The vocabulary of geophysical exploration, both English and Spanish, was furnished by engineers of the Socony Vacuum Oil Co.
