Note 930 — Chapter XIV · THE FORM-WORLD OF ECONOMIC LIFE (B) THE MACHINE
Charles Francis Atkinson translation
What Diels has managed to assemble in his work Antike Technik amounts to a comprehensive nullity. If we take away from it what belongs to the older Babylonian Civilization (such as water clocks and sun-dials) and to the younger Arabian Springtime (such as chemistry or the wonder-clock of Gaza), there is nothing left but devices, such as door-locks of a sort, that it would be an insult to attribute to any other Culture.
