: Accession No. Brogan, J. .: LESSONS FROM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, AMERICAS FIRST GREAT TECHNICAL WRITER, Information Systems and Research Div., Philco Corp., Philadelphia, Pa. IEEE Trans, on Engineering Writing and Speech, vol EWS-8, no. 1, Jim 1965, pp 3-7 Benjamin Franklin was not a born writer; he taught himself to write, and his method may be used by others to improve their writing. Many other noted writers have recom- mended writing exercises similar to Franklin's, but the increasing recognition of his stand- ing as a scientist and scientific writer should help to recommend his particular technique to today's technical and scientific writers. Examples are given, utilizing a variety of literary- styles, to illustrate the effectiveness of Franklin's method in improving the conciseness and readability of technical writing. Writing education Writing improvement Literary imitation Benjamin Franklin Style ! Accession No. Lufkin, J. M.: HUMAN VS. MACHINE TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES, Honeywell, inc., Minneapolis, Minn. IEEE Trans, on Engineering Writing and Speech, vol EWS-8, do. 1, Jun 1965, pp 8-14 The translation of technical subject matter demands an extensive knowledge of both lan- guages and a considerable acquaintance with the subject. A computer system to give high- quality translations of serious subjects, spoken or written, would be most useful, but neither the cerebral logic nor the semantic structure of language itself is yet understood. The memory storage required for the task may not be a serious obstacle, but the linguistic task of quantifying the effects of syntax and context upon meaning may be insurmountable.

M.: QUALITY CONTROL FOR ENGINEERING AUTHORSHIP, Consoli- dated Vacuum Corp., Rochester, . Y.; reprinted from Machine Design, September 10, 1964, by permission of The Penton Publishing Company, Cleveland, Ohio. IEEE Trans, on Engineering Wriiing and Speech, vol EWS-8, no. I, Jun 1965, pp 15-17 Assistance and guidance to the engineering author should be provided by his firm through a well-organized professional papers routine administered bv a group which reviews papers, secures approvals for publication, and advises the author on both the technical and literary- graphics aspects of presentation or publication. Such a program can pay off in better talks and papers, resulting in good publicity for the firm as well as providing an incentive for po- tential authors.

IEEE Trans, on Engineering Writing and Speech, vol EWS-8, no. 1, Jun 1965, pp 27-29 This paper describes a course devised to assist engineers in writing for publication. It was developed by the author after studying the attitudes that deter many engineers from writing. The course, designed to overcome these negative attitudes, has been successful as evidenced by the fact that more than 50 per cent of the first eight week class has had articles accepted by publications.
