Excerpt from A History of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers The concept of an American Society of Mechanical Engineers took shape in the winter of 1879-1880. At that time there were two engineering societies in existence in the United States. The American Society of Civil Engineers had been founded in 1852 and on January 1, 1880, its total membership was 601. The American Institute of Mining Engineers had been organized in 1871 and, on the same date, it numbered 1, 031 members. The transactions of both these societies were broad in their scope, but there were many who felt that in neither organization did the engineers of production and of the factory and power plant, and the designers and managers of the producing machine shop gather in sufficient numbers to induce the preparation of papers and the presentation of discussion in these particular fields. At a little dinner in 1879 one of the contributors to a mechanical journal met several of the officers of its company. A series of articles which had appeared in the publication were discussed and one of the participants said, "I would give a ten dollar bill to meet the author of these papers and get acquainted with him; I like his style, and I think he must be a good fellow." Another said, "That contributor is as anxious to meet you as you are to meet him." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
