Abstract
The circulation of British engineers in South America during the first half of the twentieth century is a barely explored phenomenon that should be studied in the basis of methodologies that articulate the different elements involved, with the aim of contributing to the history of technology and providing new interpretations regarding the development and decline of the South American railway system. Through the case of the Institution of Locomotive Engineers centre in Argentina, the phenomenon of the diaspora of technical knowledge and technology transmission is examined.
期刊介绍：
Acta Polytechnica is a scientific journal published by CTU in Prague. The main title, Acta Polytechnica, is accompanied by the subtitle Journal of Advanced Engineering, which defines the scope of the journal more precisely - Acta Polytechnica covers a wide spectrum of engineering topics, physics and mathematics. Our aim is to be a high-quality multi-disciplinary journal publishing the results of basic research and also applied research. We place emphasis on the quality of all published papers. The journal should also serve as a bridge between basic research in natural sciences and applied research in all technical disciplines. The innovative research results published by young researchers or by postdoctoral fellows, and also the high-quality papers by researchers from the international scientific community, reflect the good position of CTU in the World University Rankings. We hope that you will find our journal interesting, and that it will serve as a valuable source of scientific information.
