  • Abstract
    Formulas for engineering writing developed since World War II are examined. It is shown that these can be seen as “initial conditions” for a set of “curves” that can be “extrapolated” to indicate a trend toward automation. A plan is presented for the conversion of today´s semi-automated engineering writers into the “writer-programmers” required for the 1970-and-beyond time frame.
