Abstract
REFERRING to the recent correspondence in NATURE on Esperanto in scientific literature, Prof. W. E. Collinson, professor of German and John Buchanan lecturer in Esperanto in the University of Liverpool, has written stating that the fullest and most extensively documented account of such writings is Section 86 of Dr. Eugen Wvister's “Internationale Sprachnormung in der Technikbesonders in der Elektrotechnik” (published with the support of the Akademie des Bauwesens, VDI-Verlag, Berlin, 1931). This work deals with the problem of the international standardisation of technical nomenclature in all its aspects, and shows the wide range of topics in which work has already appeared in Esperanto, namely, biochemistry, strength of materials, inorganic and organic chemistry, telephony and wireless, bacteriology, analytical geometry, etc.
