In the context of the project mentioned in my last inquiry, I was wondering if anybody had a good translation for:
Arbeitswissenschaften
which appears as a subject on a student's Fachschulabschluss.
Duden defines "Arbeitswissenschaft" as "Wissenschaft von der menschlichen Arbeit, ihrem ökonomischen Einsatz, ihren medizinischen, psychologischen, gesellschaftlichen u. wirtschaftlichen Problemen." Routledge offers "'ergonomics," but that doesn't quite cut it for me.

Deutsches Museum
My sort-of uncle (Rudi Sachtleben) was one of the museum's directors in the 1930s. I also remember his sons sneaking me in after hours and letting me take a look at their hand through a live x-ray fluoroscope. Not a good idea! But that was about 1938, when I was nine.
The Deutsches Museum in Munich is/was perhaps the greatest technology museum in the world. I can only compare it to the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, which sports (among other marvels) the only German U-boat ever taken "alive" during WW2, complete with actual footage of the capture
-- gunfire and all!
HAGW (have a great weekend, in this weird vernacular; I just made it up :) ).
