Dissemination of Technical Information at the National Metallurgical Laboratory

Abstract

In the field of dissemination of technical information, technical writing plays an important role. The first aim of technical writing should be a consideration for the reader. The primary requirements of good technical writing are clarity and precision. Literary proses may be effective without being precise, it may suggest rather than define, imply rather than the state. Technical prose must be clear and definite. Technical writing is undoubtedly an art, but it is an art in which clarity and precision of expression are fundamental.
