Welcome. This is the discussion space attached to the Technology and Engineering Atlas, covering the fields, engineers, materials and inventions of engineering practice, with priority disputes stated as the record rather than smoothed away. A few house rules: keep a disagreement about the evidence rather than about people, and cite what you can.
The atlas itself is still being built. Every room below carries an opening note from the curator to start it off, and you are welcome to open your own thread on anything those rooms cover, or to use this room for whatever does not fit a narrower one.
