传统上，民族志学者研究特定时间和地点的人。然而，社会技术系统往往是长期的企业，横跨全球，服务于广大社区。从三个研究基础设施发展的案例中，本文展示了一种方法，在这种方法中，民族志学者检查标量装置：行动者的技术和认识和管理大型企业的技术。这样的手段是在具体的时间和地点实施的；对于民族志学者来说，它们是可以观察到的缩放活动。通过审查规模的制定，我们可以更好地调查社会技术系统中的各种规模和增长。
Ethnographers have traditionally studied people in particular times and places. However, sociotechnical systems are often long-term enterprises, spanning the globe and serving vast communities. Drawing from three cases of research infrastructure development, this paper demonstrates a methodology in which the ethnographer examines scalar devices: actors' techniques and technologies for knowing and managing large-scale enterprises. Such devices are enacted in and across concrete times and places; for the ethnographer they are observable as activities of scaling. By examining the enactment of scale we can better investigate diverse kinds of size and growth within sociotechnical systems.
