飞机上的铆钉与地面齐平。对于飞机制造业以外的观察家来说，如果他们注意到了这一变化，他们一定会觉得这是直截了当的，甚至是微不足道的。事实上，由于平头铆接以前从未用于飞机上那么薄的板，因此需要大量的学习。因此，我们可能会问，为什么和如何改变到齐平铆接发生？学习过程中产生了哪些以前没有的知识？在前面的文章中，我探讨了两个与工程和科学之间的界面密切相关的技术知识的例子，一个涉及实验，一个涉及理论。“我在这里的目的是移动到光谱的另一端，并采取远的情况下，
airplanes had rivets flush with the surface. To observers outside the airplane industry this change, if they noticed it at all, must have seemed straightforward and even trivial. In fact, since flush riveting had never before been used in plates as thin as those in aircraft, a great deal of learning was necessary. We may therefore ask, Why and how did the change to flush riveting take place? And what knowledge did the learning process generate that was not available before? In earlier papers I have explored two examples of technological knowledge close to the interface between engineering and science, one concerned with experiment and one with theory.' My purpose here is to move to the other end of the spectrum and take up a case far
