PREFACIO
Cuando los originales del Engineers' Dictionay quedaron listos en 1943, la
segunda guerra mundial estaba en su apogeo y esto llev a la casa editora y al
autor a convenir de que el libro no deba exceder de unas cuatrocientas cincuenta
pginas. Algin material debi ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante trataba
detenidamente de ingeniera civil, no pudo contener niuchos tr~ninosusados en
otras ramas (le la ingeniera.
Poco tiempo c1espu6s de su publicacin yo me retir del trabajo activo de
ingeniera y desde entonces he tenido amplias oportunidades para dedicarme a la
compilacin de un diccionario ms extenso. El m:~teri:tlque debi ser retirado
se ha agreg:ttlo ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de rilaterial nuevo.
He consultado con muchos amigos de la Amrica Latina y en cada viaje he trado
conmigo publicaciones tcnicas de diversas clases como fuente de trminos
espaoles. Constantemente he escudriado las revistas de ingeniera y los
libros nuevos publicados en ambos idiomas.
E l campo de accin sigue siendo la ingeniera y las referencias frecuentes a la
qumica, la geologa o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias estn totalniente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitara un volumen aparte.
Los trminos incluidos de estas u otras materias son aquellos regularmente
requeridos en un trabajo o estudio de ingeniera. Igual criterio se ha seguido en
la seleccin de algunos pocos trminos de finanzas, seguros y transportes.
Al ampliar la obra mis principales propsitos han sido los siguientes:
Abarcar la ingeniera elctrica y mecnica en manera mucho ms amplia.
La radio que no se mencion para nada en la primera edicin ha recibido cuidadoso estudio. Se han incluido trminos importantes de la televisin.
Poner al da todos los ramos de la ingeniera civil. Se ha dado especial atencin
a la mecnica de los suelos, a la fotogrametra y al proyecto y construccin de
aeropuertos.
Incluir los trminos ms importantes correspondientes a minera, arquitectura
naval, explotacin forestal, industria azucarera y campos petrolferos.
Una nueva adicin es la indicacicin de gnero de los substantivos en espaol.
E l objeto de un diccionario tcnico es proporcionar informacin que no se
encuentra en otra parte. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todas
y cada una de las pa1:ibras del itlioiiia ingls, an las ms tcnicas, pero no abarca
las frases que figur:in rn glosarios ofici:iles de las socied:ttles (fe ingeniera.
Muchas de las palabras (le esce libro se encuentran taiii1,in en los mejores
diccionarios generales ingls-espaol. Bicttress se encuentra en cualquiera de
ellos, igualmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y tambin infernal
se encuentran, pero no aguja infernal. La mayora de mis esfuerzos se han

PREFACIO

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 mquina
y algunas mquinas constan de tantas que llegan al millar. Las partes principales
de una mquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de los trminos como
cojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y vlvula, deben identificarse con un
nombre la gran mayora de las piezas componentes.
A pesar de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todava que las
definiciones estlln fuera de lugar en un diccionario tcnico bilingiie. El interesado
que busca en un libro como ste el trmino slip-ring motor quiere encontrar el
equivalente aceptado en espaol y no tina descripcin del motor. Las definiciones aumentaran mucho el volumen del libro. La prBctica seguida ha
sido la de definir un trmino solamente al carecer de un equivalente satisfactorio
y en algunos casos para evitar ambiguedades.
Es obvio que existen en este libro muchas palabras, tanto en espaol conio
en ingls, que tienen otros significados adems de los anotados. Se han onlitido
los significados no tcnicos, as como aquellos que pertenecen a la botnica,
zoologa y otras ciencias de inters muy relativo para el ingeniero.
Algunos de los trminos de la obra original han sido criticados llamndolos
"mal espaol". Un crtico me ha dicho que la incorporacin de tales terminos
a un diccionario tiende a perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. bli punto de
vista es que la exactitud de los trminos tcnicos en cualquier idioma es establecida por los tcnicos que los crean y los usan, y la tarea del compilador del
diccionario es la de registrar su uso. En esta obra se trata de dar a los tcnicos
de habla inglesa de la Amrica del Norte la terminologa de ingeniera usada en
los pases de habla espaola de Amrica y viceversa. Trminos tomados de
publicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto se
consideran expresiones usadas y "aceptadas". I'ara muchos miles de trminos
en ingls no hay equibalente en "buen espaol" si se sigue el criterio de la Real
Academia. Esta es la razn de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 trminos en
el d4ccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster.
Los equivalentes en espaol de marcas de fbrica o de comercio en ingls
presentan un problema. La simple aseveracin de que estos nombres no pueden
traducirse no soluciona el problema, porque muchas traducciones son de uso
corriente en los pases de habla espaol:^. Muchos de estos trminos ya se han
incorporado a otros diccionarios en espaol o en espaol-ingls. Hay propietarios
de marcas de fbrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentes
en espao[ para usarlos en su propaganda. Yo he seguido la prctica de incluir
todo trmino de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso tcnico. Debe notarse
que muchos trminos en ingls de esta clase se han hecho tan conocidos que con
la sancin de Webster regularmente se escriben sin may6scula. Para I:t niayora
de estos trminos hay equivalentes en espaol igualmente bien establecidos.
Muchos amigos que me proporcionaron consejos en la preparacin de la
obra original me han ayudado de nuevo. Estoy particularmente agradecido al
seor George C. Bunker con quien he pasado much:is horas en Caracas. Adenls
de concederme amplio tiempo, me present a ingenieros venezolanos de quienes
obtuve niateriiil de gran valor. Para n~uchostrniinos de ingeniera sanitaria,

tanto en ingles corno r n espaol, tengo qiie agradecer al seor Edmilnd B.

PREFACE
Under the war conditions of 1943, when the original Engineas' 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 1 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. 1 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. 1have constantly combed
the engineering periodicals and the newest books in both languages.
My field is still engineering. Frequent referentes 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 al1 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 millirig, and oil-field operations.

A new feature is the notation of gender with al1 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
offici:il 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 thrend, 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
