 PREFACIO
Cuando 10s originales del Engineers' Dictionay quedaron listos en 1943, la
segunda guerra mundial estabn 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
p&ginas. Algiin material debi6 ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante trataba
detenidamente de ingenieria civil, no pudo contener nluchos tkrrninos usados en
otras rnmas tle la ingenieria.
Poco tiempo cfespu6s de su publicaci6n yo me retirk del trabajo activo de
ingenieria y desde erltonces he 'cenitlo amplias oporturlidades para dedicarme a la
compilaci6n de un diccionario mzis extenso. El m:~teri:tlque debi6 ser retirado
se ha agreg:ttlo ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de rllaterial nuevo.
He consultado con muchos amigos de la AmCrica Latina y en cada viaje he traido
conmigo publicaciones tCcnicas de diversas clases como fuente de tCrminos
espafioles. Constantemente he escudrifiado las revistas de ingenieria y 10s
libros nuevos publicados en ambos idiomas.
E l campo de acci6n sigue siendo la ingenieria y las referencias frecuentes a la
quimica, la geologia o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias estCn total-
nlente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitaria un volumen aparte.
Los tkrminos 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 tkrminos de finanzas, seguros y transportes.
A1 ampliar la obra mis principales prop6sitos han sido 10s siguientes:
Abarcar la ingenieria elkctrica y nlec4nica en manera mucho m4s amplia.
La radio que no se mencion6 para nada en la primera edici6n ha recibido cuida-
doso estudio. Se hnn incluido t6rminos importantes de la televisi6n.
Poner a1 din todos 10s rarnos de la ingenieria civil. Se ha dado especial atencidn
a la meczinica de los suelos, a la fotogrametria y a1 proyecto y construcci6n de
aeropuertos.
Incluir 10s tkrminos m&simportantes correspondientes a mineria, arquitectura
naval, explotaci6n forestal, industria azucarera y campos petroliferos.

Una nueva atlici6n es la indicacicin de gCnero de 10s substantives en espaiiol.

E l ohjeto de un diccionnrio tkcnico es proporcionnr informaci6n que no se
encuentra en otr:t pnrte. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todas
y cada una de las palnbms del itlionla inglbs, niln Ins mris ti.cnicns, pero no a1,arca
las frases que figur:in rn glosarios oficiales de l:ls socied:ttles tie ingenieria.
Muchns de las palnbras tle esce libro se encuentran tmn1,iCn en 10s mejores
diccionarios generales inglCs-espafiol. Buttress se encuentra en cualquiera de
ellos, igunlmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y tambikn 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 palabm.
La nomenclatura de piezas de maquinaria requiere un constante uso de buen
criterio. Cada fabricante tiene su propia lista de piezas para cada mfiquina
y algunas mhquinas constan de tantas que Ilegan al millar. Las partes principales
de una mfiquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de 10s tCrminos como
cojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y vAlvula, deben identificarse con un
nombre la gran mayorfa de las piezas componentes.
A pesar de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todavia que las
definiciones estlln fuera de lugar en un diccionario t6cnico bilingile. El interesado
que busca en un libro como 6ste el tCrnlino slip-ring motor quiere encontrar el
equivalente aceptado en espafiol y no una descripci6n del motor. Las de-
finiciones aumentarian mucho el rolumen del libro. La prBctica seguida ha
sido la de definir un t6rmino solamente a1 carecer de un equivalente satlsfactorio
y en algunos casos para evitar ambiguedades.
Es obvio que existen en este libro muchas palabras, tanto en espaiiol como
en inglCs, que tienen otros significados ademas de 10s anotados. Se han onlitido
10s significados no tkcnicos, asi como aquellos que pertenecen a la botanica,
zoologia y otras ciencias de inter& muy relativo para el ingeniero.
Algunos de 10s tCrminos de la obra original han sido criticados llamfindolos
"ma1 espafiol". Un crftico me ha dicho que la incorporaci6n de tales terminos
a un diccionario tiende a perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. bli punto de
vista es que la exactitud de 10s tCrminos tecnicos en cualquier idioma es esta-
blecida por 10s t6cnicos que 10s crean y 10s usan, y la tarea del compilador del
diccionario es la de registrar su uso. En esta obra se trata de dar a 10s t6cnicos
de habla inglesa de la AmCrica del Norte la terminologia de ingenieria usada en
10s paises de habla espaiiola de AmCrica y viceversa. Terminos tornados de
publicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto se
consideran expresiones usadas y "aceptadas". Para muchos miles de tkrminos
en inglCs no hay equibalente en "buen espaiiol" si se sigue el criterio de la Real
Academia. Esta es la raz6n de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 t6rminos en
el d4ccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster.
Los equivalentes en espafiol de marcas de fhbrica o de comercio en inglCs
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 paises de habla espadoln. Muchos de estos t6rminos ya se han
incorporado a otros diccionarios en espafiol o en espafiol-inglks. Hay propietarios
de marcas de fBbrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentes
en espafioi para usarlos en su propaganda. Yo he seguido la prfictica de incluir
todo tkrmino de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso tkcnico. Debe notarse
que muchos tCrminos en inglCs de esta clase se han hecho tan conocidos que con
la sanci6n de Webster regularnlente se escriben sin may6scula. Para I:t mayoria
de estos tCrminos hay equivalentes en espafiol igualmente bien establecidos.
Muchos amigos que me proporcionnron ronsejos en la preparaci6n de la
obra original me han ayudndo de nuevo. Estoy particularmente agrsdecido a1
sefior George C. Bunker con quien he pasado much:is horas en Caracas. AdenlSs
de concederme amplio tiempo, me present6 a ingenieros venezolanos de quienes
obtuve material de gran valor. Para n~uchost6rnlinos de ingenieria sanitaria,
tnnto en ing1C.s corno r n espniiol, tengo que agradecer al seiior Edmund B.
Bcsselievre de 1 : ~Dorr ConiI~:lnyy a1 sefior Tonlds 11. Tglesins de la ciudad de
Itlbsico. El scfior Juan de Dios Tejada de 1s Hahan:~nie facilit6 su consejo
esperto en mucllas cosas. El vocnbulsrio de esplorclcibrl geoffsica tanto en
iriglbs corno en espafiol me fu6 sunlinistrrtdo por ingenieros de la Socony '\'acuum

 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 I retired from active work and
have since found ample time to devote to the compilation of a much more com-
prehensive 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
xii I'REFACE

must be listed, and with these, plus ter111s like bearing, cam, bolt, spring, rollcr,
and valve, equivalents of the vast rhajority of part names rn:ry be written e:tsily.
I n spite of some advice to the contrary I still b c l i r ~ cth:rt defi~iitiorisare out
of place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user wlio turns to slip-
ring motor in a book such as this wants the ncceptecl S1,:mish equiv:rlents of ttltrt
term and is not looking for a description of :L slip-ring niotol.. l>cfinitior~sn.ould
add greatly to the book's bulk. M y practice has been to defiiie x: tern1 only in
default of a satisfactory equiv:tlent or occas&onally to avoitl :triil)iguity.
Obviously there are many words here, both Spaliisli ant1 E~iglisli,that have
meanings other than those given. Nontechnical me:rnirigs 21:lve usu:rlly heen
ignored, as have those which belong to l)ot:rny, zoology, or o t l l ~ rsciences that
do not concern the. engineer.
Some of the terms in the original book have been criticized as "1,:rtl Spanish."
One critic tells mc that the listing of such tcrliis ill ally diction:try telitls to
perpetuate them and does an injury to the language. h1y own view is that

Many friends who advised with me in the preparation 4

have again been helpful. I a m particularly grateful to MI

with whom I have spent many hours in Caracas. Besides
own time he introduced me to Venezuelan engineers fror
material of great value. For terms of sanitary enginwring,
in Spanish, I have to thank hlr. Edmund B. Uesselievre (
Mr. Tomas R. Yglesias of Mexico City. Seiior Juan de Dic
gave me his expert advice on many questions. The voc:th
