Seed drill/Jethro Tull gang, rise up too
(Seed drills improved crop yields by as much as 50% while reducing 30% less seedstock, AND enhancing labour productivity. See e.g. prezi.com/p/4a1o68vmof...)

For those interested in #scarcity and #innovation, my thesis can be found here - ch. 6, the study about the #history of copper smelting and social construction of constraints I got published in #Technology and Culture is IMHO the best one. #histSciTech

Perhaps this is already well known to #historians of the #ColdWar and #nuclear #weapons, but in case it isn’t, the “teeny tiny itsy bitsy cutie pie tactical nuclear weapon” paper contains this data point: #HistSciTech #war #military #history

On the origins of Finnish nuclear energy law. Might be of interest to #HistSciTech and #STS folks too

On 15 Nov 1988, 37 years ago, the #Soviet #space #shuttle #Buran made its first and only flight. In 2013, I found an interesting piece of #history of the #ColdWar and wrote why Buran looked like a copy of the US Shuttle. (TL;DR: arms race/paranoia.) #HistSciTech jmkorhonen.net/2013/11/18/s...

Similar widespread ignorance of #history of #technology among technologists, even of one's own field, infuriated me when I was doing engineer things in product development in the late 00's. I saw it lead to 1) avoidable mistakes and 2) pernicious beliefs of superiority. 1/ #STS #HistSciTech

Considering the vastly different population densities, this is an eyebrow-raising figure: "Germany had 18,242 windmills in 1895 ... and Finland had 20,000 windmills in 1900." Any #histscitech or #energyhistory peeps who'd like to weigh in? solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2009/10/wind...

Found an open version of one of the greatest papers in the history of science, technology and innovation ever written: Ogburn and Thomas's "Are Inventions Inevitable" from 1922 (!). It's short and well written: Do yourself a favor and read it. #HistSciTech #STS archive.org/stream/jstor...
