The technological standardization of steel rails in modern China prior to 1937 went through 3 stages: “The Specification for Steel Rails of 85 lbs.” issued by the Qing Dynasty Ministry of Mail and Transportation in 1911; "The Specification for Steel Rails of the National Railway of the Republic of China" issued by the Ministry of Transportation in 1922; and "The Specification for Steel Rails of the National Railway" issued by the Ministry of Railways in 1936. A relatively complete system of technological standards for steel rails formed after 1936 in China. This paper is an attempt to discover the historical process of the development of these three specifications, and to provide a rare case for the study of the history of technological standardization in early modern China. Through this case study, the process of the localization of the technology of railway and steel manufacture in early modern China are also reconstructed from another perspective. |
