Students were regularly provided with a set of readingquestions for each section of the technical writing course. These assignments, and somerelated questions on the mid-term exam, asked them to find the errors in a sentence.These typically related to specific topics in technical communication, such asconciseness, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Since these were typically done with

This paper analyzes the changes in technical communication in a single company, Lukens Steel, between the years 1810 and 1925. Until 1870, literacy was not necessary in the workplace; only the owners wrote letters and kept accounting records.
