“…The engineering community felt heat could be delivered cheaply but pointed out that the annual cost to the resident was significant, and they wondered whether, in Britain, there were “enough people who were prepared to pay to be comfortable” (Noddings et al :342). One pointed out that “whereas a tenant could shut off his radiators for any length of time, he could not shut off the bill” (Donkin et al :285). Without meters establishing a private sphere of consumption at the level of the individual home, the heat was supplied as a social rather than a consumer good.…”

The Pimlico District Heating Undertaking (PDHU) wasChristine pads across the waxed floorboards of her flat showing me to a comfy spot on her sofa. Her living room is bathed in sunlight, which floods through the windows and reflects off the modernist white of the walls, the brushed iron pipework, and the shining green leaves of her plants. "It's a gorgeous room," I say, and Christine agrees. "My flatmate calls it his studio," she responds, indicating the drafting table on the opposite side of the room. It transpires that her

Zum Einfluf3 emigrierter deutschsprachiger Ingenieure auf dieIngenieurwissenschaften in Grofibritannien 1933 bis 1945':-Summary: This article deals with the emigration and the experiences of the professional group of engineers in their British exile, trying to evaluate the influences these refugee engineers had on the British engineering science. The approach is not limited to engineering research at universities o r technical colleges, but tries to include the aspect of research and development on the level of the firm. Limits and constraints o f gaining influence in British engineering are discussed, such as different values and traditions as well as the different traditions in technical education and the role of the engineering graduate in industry. Finally attempts are made to establish some fieldsof engineeringwhere an identifiable influence can be traced without exaggerating the general influence of these Gelman speaking refugee engineers. Those identifiable fields are machine tools, fuel technology a i d district heating.Schliisselworter: Emigration, deutsche; Grotlbritannien; Industrie, britische Ingenieurwissenschaften; Technische Intelligenz; XX Jh.Bei dem Versuzh, den EinfluiS deutschsprachiger lngeiiieurernigranten auf die britische Ingcnieumissenschafr herauszuarbeiten, entsteht eine Reihe von Problemen, die ihrcn Ursprung einerseits insbesondere in der unterschiedlichen praktischen Organisation der technischen Wisscnschaften in Deutschland und Grolibritannien haben, andererseits in dein gesellschaftlichen Status und Ansehen der Vertreter der technischen Wissenschaften begriindet sind. Verbunden mit diesem letzteren Aspekt ist die unterschiedliche Bedeutung, die den technischen Wissenschaftenim englischen Sprachgebrauch den ,,applied sciences" -im Zusammenhang mit wirtschaftlichem und industriellem Fortschritt zugemessen wird, und damit zudem die ubergeordnete Frage nach der Kolle der technischen Wissenschaften innerhalb des nationalen Kultur-und Erziehungssystems. Gerade in diescni Bereich wurde sowohl von Zeitgenossen wie von der ncueren Forschung imnier wieder auf die grollen Unterschiede hingewiesen, die zwischen den traditionellen Forrnen der technischen Erziehung in Groiibritannien und in Deutschland bestandenl : ':.
