PREFACIO Cuando los originales del Engineers Dictionary quedaron listos en 1943, lasegunda guerra mundial estaba en su apogeo y esto llev a la casa editora y alautor a convenir de que el libro no deba exceder de unas cuatrocientas cincuentapginas. Algn material debi ser retirado y aunque el libro resultante tratabadetenidamente de ingeniera civil, no pudo contener muchos trminos usados enotras ramas de la ingeniera. Poco tiempo despus de su publicacin yo me retir del trabajo activo deingeniera y desde entonces he tenido amplias oportunidades para dedicarme a lacompilacin de un diccionario ms extenso. El material que debi ser retiradose ha agregado ahora y se ha estudiado una gran cantidad de material nuevo.He consultado con muchos amigos de la Amrica Latina y en cada viaje he tradoconmigo publicaciones tcnicas de diversas clases como fuente de trminosespaoles. Constantemente he escudriado las revistas de ingeniera y loslibros nuevos publicados en ambos idiomas. El campo de accin sigue siendo la ingeniera y las referencias frecuentes a laqumica, la geologa o la metalurgia no significan que estas materias estn totalmente abarcadas en este libro. Cada una de ellas necesitara un volumen aparte.Los trminos incluidos de estas u otras materias son aquellos regularmenterequeridos 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 atencina la mecnica de los suelos, a la fotogrametra y al proyecto y construccin deaeropuertos. Incluir los trminos ms importantes correspondientes a minera, arquitecturanaval, explotacin forestal, industria azucarera y campos petrolferos. Una nueva adicin es la indicacin de gnero de los substantivos en espaol. El objeto de un diccionario tcnico es proporcionar informacin que no seencuentra en otra parte. Se supone que el diccionario de Webster incluye todasy cada una de las palabras del idioma ingls, an las ms tcnicas, pero no abarcalas frases que figuran en glosarios oficiales de las sociedades de ingeniera.Muchas de las palabras de este libro se encuentran tambin en los mejoresdiccionarios generales ingls-espaol. Buttress se encuentra en cualquiera deellos, igualmente que thread, pero no buttress thread. Aguja y tambin infernalse encuentran, pero no aguja infernal. La mayora de mis esfuerzos se hanvii www.FreeLibros.com 5. viii V PREFACIOconcentrado en el registro d significados o equivalentes de locuciones que nopueden expresarse con una sola palabra. La nomenclatura de piezas de maquinaria requiere un constante uso de buencriterio. Cada fabricante tiene su propia lista de piezas para cada mquinay algunas mquinas constan de tantas que llegan al millar. Las partes principalesde una mquina deben enumerarse y con ellas, fuera de los trminos comocojinete, leva, tornillo, resorte, rodillo y vlvula, deben identificarse con unnombre la gran mayora de las piezas componentes. A pesar de algunos consejos adversos recibidos, yo creo todava que lasdefiniciones estn fuera de lugar en un diccionario tcnico bilinge. El interesadoque busca en un libro como ste el trmino slvp-ring motor quiere encontrar elequivalente aceptado en espaol y no una descripcin del motor. Las definiciones aumentaran mucho el volumen del libro. La prctica seguida hasido la de definir un trmino solamente al carecer de un equivalente satisfactorioy en algunos casos para evitar ambigedades. Es obvio que existen en este libro muchas palabras, tanto en espaol comoen ingls, que tienen otros significados adems de los anotados. Se han omitidolos 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 trminosa un diccionario tiende a perpetuarlos y a perjudicar el idioma. M i punto devista 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 deldiccionario es la de registrar su uso. En esta obra se trata de dar a los tcnicosde habla inglesa de la Amrica del Norte la terminologa de ingeniera usada enlos pases de habla espaola de Amrica y viceversa. Trminos tomados depublicaciones oficiales, de especificaciones de ingenieros y de libros de texto seconsideran expresiones usadas y aceptadas . Para muchos miles de trminosen ingls no hay equivalente en buen espaol si se sigue el criterio de la RealAcademia. Esta es la razn de la diferencia entre unos 125,000 trminos enel diccionario de la Academia y de unos 500,000 en el de Webster. Los equivalentes en espaol de marcas de fbrica o de comercio en inglspresentan un problema. La simple aseveracin de que estos nombres no puedentraducirse no soluciona el problema, porque muchas traducciones son de usocorriente en los pases de habla espaola. Muchos de estos trminos ya se hanincorporado a otros diccionarios en espaol o en espaol-ingls. Hay propietariosde marcas de fbrica o comercio quienes han creado expresamente equivalentesen espaol Pra usarlos en su propaganda. Y o he seguido la prctica de incluirtodo trmino de esta clase que he encontrado en buen uso tcnico. Debe notarseque muchos trminos en-ingls de esta clase se han hecho tan conocidos que conla sancin de Webster regularmente se escriben sin mayscula. Para la mayorade estos trminos hay equivalentes en espaol igualmente bien establecidos. Muchos amigos que me proporcionaron consejos en la preparacin de laobra original me han ayudado de nuevo. Estoy particularmente agradecido alseor George C. Bunker con quien he pasado muchas horas en Caracas. Ademsde concederme amplio tiempo, me present a ingenieros venezolanos de quienesobtuve material de gran valor. Para muchos trminos de ingeniera sanitaria. www.FreeLibros.com 6.

PREFACE Under the war conditions of 1943, when the original Engineers Dictionarywas in preparation, publisher and author agreed that the book ought to be keptdown to about 450 pages. Some material had to be laid aside, and although theresulting book dealt thoroughly with civil engineering, it could not go very farwith the terms of other fields. Shortly after publication of the original book I retired from active work andhave since found ample time to devote to the compilation of a much more comprehensive dictionary. The items formerly laid aside have been worked in anda mass of new material has been studied. I have consulted many friends inLatin America and from each trip have brought back technical publications ofmany kinds to be worked over for my Spanish terms. I have constantly combedthe engineering periodicals and the newest books in both languages.M y field is still engineering. Frequent references to chemistry, geology, ormetallurgy do not mean that these subjects are covered. Each of them wouldneed a volume of its own. Terms of these and other sciences here included arethose which are regularly npeded in connection with engineering work. Thesame 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. T o 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. T o bring all branches of civil engineering up to date. Special attentionhas been given to photogrammetry, soil mechanics, and airport construction.3. T o 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 foundelsewhere. Websters is supposed to include every word in the English languageno matter how technical, but it does not cover the phrases that are listed inofficial glossaries of the engineering societies. M any of the words in this bookwill be found also in the best English-Spanish general dictionaries. Broad isfound anywhere and so is irrigation, but not broad irrigation. Buttress is foundand so is thread, but they cannot be combined into an equivalent for buttressthread. M ost of my effort has gone into pinning down the phrases. The listing of machine parts calls for the constant use of judgment. Everymanufacturer has his own list of parts for each machine, and some machineshave parts running into the thousands. The principal members of a machine xi www.FreeLibros.com www.FreeLibros.com 9. xii PREFACEmust be listed, and tfith these, plus terms like bearing, cam, bolt, spring, roller,and valve, equivalents of the vast riiajority of part names may be written easily. In spite of some advice to the contrary I still believe that definitions are outof place in a two-language technical dictionary. The user who turns to slip-ring motor in a book such as this wants the accepted Spanish equivalents of thatterm and is not looking for a description of a slip-ring motor. Definitions wouldadd greatly to the books bulk. M y practice has been to define a term only indefault of a satisfactory equivalent or occasionally to avoid ambiguity. Obviously there are many words here, both Spanish and English, that havemeanings other than those given. Nontechnical meanings have usually beenignored, 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 me that the listing of such terms in any dictionary tends toperpetuate them and does an injury to the language. M y own view is thatthe correctness of technical terms in any language is established by the technicalmen who create them and use them, and the job of the dictionary maker is torecord this usage, This book aims to give the North American technical manthe accepted engineering terminology of Spanish America, and vice versa.Terms taken from official publications, from engineers specifications, and fromtextbooks are accepted terms. For many thousands of English technicalterms there are no good Spanish1 equivalents, if the Royal Academy is to be the criterion. This is the principal reason for the difference between some125,000 entries in the Academy dictionary and 500,000 in Websters.Spanish equivalents of English trade names are a problem. The simplestatement that proprietary names cannot be translated does not cover the situation because they are regularly being translated in Spanish-speaking countries.M ny 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. M y 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 Websters approval, they are regularly written without the capital letter. For most of the terms in this class there are Spanish equivalents equally well established.M any 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 M r. Toms R . Yglesias of Mexico City. Seor Juan de Dios Tejada of Havanagave me his expert advice on many questions. The vocabulary of geophysicalexploration, both English and Spanish, was furnished by engineers of the SoconyVacuum Oil Co. L. A. R. New York September, 1949 www.FreeLibros.comwww.FreeLibros.com 10.
