ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION 



URBANA, ILLINOIS 
PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY 



HHIS BULLETIN is the ninth of a series of bulletins pub- 
lished by the Engineering Experiment Station of j the 
University of Illinois. The Engineering Experiment . 
Station was established by action of the Board of Trus- 
tees December 8, 1903. It is the purpose of the Station to carry 
on investigations along various lines of engineering, and to study . 
problems of importance to professional engineers and to the man- 
ufacturing, railway, mining, constructional and industrial inter- 
ests of the state. 

The control of the Engineering Experiment Station is vested 
in the heads of the several departments of the College of En- 
gineering. These constitute the Station Staff, and with the Di- 
rector determine the character of the investigations to be under- 
taken. The work is carried on under the supervision of the Staff ; 
sometimes by a Fellow as graduate work, sometimes by a mem- 
ber of the instructional force of the College of Engineering, but 
more frequently by an investigator belonging to the Station Corps. 

The results of these investigations will be published in the 
form of bulletins, and will record mostly the experiments of the 
Station's own staff of investigators. There will also be issued 
from time to time in the form of circulars, compilations giving 
the results of the experiments of engineers, industrial works, 
technical institutions and governmental testing departments. 

The volume and number at the top of the title page of the 
cover refer to the general publications of the University of Illi- 
nois; at the bottom is given the number of the Engineering 
Experiment Station bulletin or circular. 

For copies of bulletins, circulars or other information, address

AN EXTENSION OF THE 
DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION 

APPLIED TO THE 
ENGINEERING INDUSTRIES

and 

G. A. GOODENOUGH, ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 

INTRODUCTION 

The decimal system of classification was devised and elabor- 
ated by Mr. Melvil Dewey, formerly director of the New York 
State Library. This system was intended primarily for the use of 
librarians in the classification and arrangement of books and 
pamphlets, but it was soon found that the system furnished also 
a simple and effective means of classifying, indexing and filing 
literary matter of all kinds. Engineers have found it useful for 
indexing technical data and information, catalogs, reports, card 
systems, drawings, etc., and it has been found equally useful by 
manufacturing and business concerns. 

Recognizing the value of the decimal system as a means of 
classifying and indexing technical literature, the department of 
mechanical engineering of the University of Illinois prepared 
several years ago an extension of that part of the Dewey classifi- 
cation which relates to mechanical engineering. The first edition 
was a small pamphlet of six pages. The demand for the extension 
was so great that within a year a second edition was printed, and 



2 ILLINOIS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION 

this has been followed by the third and fourth editions. In each 
successive edition the extension has been carried somewhat fur- 
ther, and such slight changes and modifications have been made 
as would add to the clearness and consistency of the system as a 
whole. In the third edition was incorporated with slight modifi- 
cations the extensions for railroads and railroad engineering 
adopted by the International Railway Congress. 

In this bulletin are included the extensions to mechanical 
and railway engineering already worked out; an extension for 
electrical engineering made by Mr. J. M. Bryant of the electrical 
engineering department; and more or less complete extensions 
for other branches of engineering. The whole will be, it is hoped, 
a self-contained classification which will cover with fair com- 
pleteness the entire ground of engineering industry. 

EXPLANATION OF THE DECIMAL SYSTEM 

The essential characteristic of the Dewey system is its meth- 
od of division and sub-division. The entire field of knowledge is 
divided into nine chief classes numbered by the digits from 1 to 9. 
Matter of too general a nature to be included in any of these 
classes is put into a tenth class and indicated by 0. The follow- 
ing are the primary classes of the Dewey system : 

General Works 

1 Philosophy 

2 Religion 

3 Sociology 

4 Philology 

5 Natural Science 

6 Useful Arts 
8 Fine Arts 

8 Literature 

9 History 

Each of these classes is again divided into nine divisions, with 
a tenth division for general matter, and each division is separated 
into nine sections. The sections are again sub-divided and the 
process may be carried as far as desired. 

To show clearly the working of the system the divisions of 
class 6 (useful arts) and the sections of division 2 of this class 
(engineering) are given. 



EXTENSION DECIMAL SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION 

600 Useful Arts 620 Engineering 

610 Medicine 621 Mechanical 

620 Engineering 622 Mining 

630 Agriculture 623 Military 

640 Domestic Economy 624 Bridge and Roof 

650 Communication and 625 Road and Railroad 

Commerce 

660 Chemical Technology 626 Canal 

670 Manufactures 627 River and Harbor 

680 Mechanic Trades 628 Sanitary: Waterworks 

690 Building 629 Other Branches 

It will be seen that the first digit gives the class; the second, 
the division; and the third, the section. Thus 625 indicates 
section 5 (railroad engineering) of division 2 (engineering) of 
class 6 (useful arts). For convenience a decimal point is 
inserted after the section digit. Further sub-division is indicated 
by digits following the decimal point. For example 625.2 is the 
number indicating rolling stock; 625.23 passenger cars; 625.24 
freight cars, etc. 

RELATIVE INDEX 

Following the classification is the relative index, in which 
the items of the classification are arranged alphabetically, each 
with its proper class number. The index is necessarily incom- 
plete, as it is manifestly impossible to include every subject that 
might arise in engineering practice. 

In a highly specialized industry, as for example, the electri- 
cal industry, there are thousands of technical terms indicative of 
materials and processes and to include these would alone require 
a volume. It is believed that the index is sufficiently complete 
that the user may without difficulty assign the proper number 
to almost any topic that may arise. 

In some cases, the same item has two numbers. For example, 
"Telephones" has the numbers 537.82 and 654.6. Reference to 
the classification shows that the former number is used when the 
telephone is considered as an application of the electric current, 
while the latter is used when the telephone is looked upon as a 
means of communication. In any case, reference to the classifi- 
cation will show which number is appropriate to the item under 
consideration.

USES AND ADVANTAGES OF THE CLASSIFICATION AND INDEX 

The decimal classification may be used to advantage in the 
indexing and filing of notes and memoranda, clippings, general 
information, articles in technical journals, drawings, catalogs or 
books. For this purpose, the decimal system possesses certain 
important advantages over the alphabetical system. 

(1) It groups allied subjects. For example, suppose the 
alphabetical arrangement to be applied to a case of catalogs. 
The catalogs of the various machine tools, as planers, lathes, 
drills, hammers, etc., would be. scattered throughout the case. 
With the decimal system, on the other hand, all these catalogs 
would be grouped together under the class number 621.9. 

(2) Unless an elaborate system of cross reference is used, 
the alphabetical scheme is ambiguous ; in many cases there is 
doubt as to what letter should be given a subject. For example, 
take the item "Automatic pneumatic block signals." This might 
almost equally well be indexed under A, P, B or S. With the 
decimal system this item has its one number 656.256.4. 

(3) The decimal system has the advantage of flexibility and 
an indefinite capacity for extension. For the indexing of books and 
catalogs only the main division and sections will, in general, be 
found necessary ; but for card indexes of technical literature the 
most minute subdivisions must ordinarily be used. In individual 
cases, the user may find that still further division is required. 
An extension may then be made by adding another decimal place, 
and if still further subdivision is required still another digit may 
be used. 

The average engineer, for example, can easily index all 
matter relating to traveling cranes under the single class number 
621.872. The designer or builder of cranes may, however, have so 
much matter relating to this special subject that further sub- 
division is needed. By the addition of a digit, this matter may 
be divided into nine groups designated by 621.872.1, 621.872.2, etc. ; 
and, if necessary, each of these may be divided into nine new 
groups. 

The effectiveness of the Dewey system has been severely 
tested in the Engineering College of the University. The 
mechanical engineering department has a card index of current 
periodical literature which now contain 20,000 cards. These are 



EXTENSION DECIMAL SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION 5 

indexed by the Dewey system. The classification is first made 
by students, and is then revised by one competent person. It 
seldom occurs that there is any doubt as to the proper class num- 
ber for a given card. For the guidance of those who may wish to 
use the classification in connection with a card index a sample 
card is shown on page 8. The class number 621.63 serves to 
locate the card in the case and the remaining notes in the margin 
indicate the periodical, volume, page and date. Thus the article 
in question appeared in the Proceedings of the Institution 
of Civil Engineers, Vol. 123, page 272, December, 1895; it 
occupies 55 pages and has 31 illustrations. 

Blue prints received from manufacturers; all catalogs, of 
which there is a large number; clippings, photographs and illus- 
trative class room material ; all these are indexed and filed by 
the decimal system. In every case the system has been found 
thoroughly satisfactory. 

VARIATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS 

In the working out of- the extension of the various subjects 
the main divisions and sections as published by Mr. Dewey have 
been retained unchanged. It cannot be denied that there are 
many glaring inconsistencies in the arrangement of engineering 
subjects. For example, no engineer of to-day wouldi put elec- 
trical engineering as a division under mechanical engineering 
(621.3) coordinate with blowing and pumping engines (621.6) ; 
nor would he relegate concrete to an unimportant place under, 
building materials. There is no doubt that a committee of com- 
petent engineers could vastly improve the logical arrangement of 
the class numbers for engineering subjects. However, the system 
as it is, with its faults, has been in use several years and has be- 
come more or less universal. It is used in libraries and by many 
business concerns and individuals. It has become a sort of a 
standard like the Sellers system of screw threads. For this rea- 
son alone, radical changes would be inadvisable. The inexperi- 
enced user will be likely to see room for improvement and will be 
tempted to make changes in the system for his individual use. 
Such changes can only lead to confusion. It is far better to accept 
the system merely as an arbitrary set of numbers corresponding 
to certain topics and resolutely dismiss rigid ideas of logical se- 
quence and consistency. 



6 ILLINOIS ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION 

There are certain permissible modifications, however, which 
may be made without violating the integrity of .the system. To 
avoid the writing of long numbers a single letter may be used for 
the first three or four digits. Thus an electrical engineer would 
naturally have most of his material under 621.3 (electrical en- 
gineering),, and for this number he could substitute the single 
letter E. Likewise, a railroad man might use R for 625 (railroad 
engineering). 

Another modification consists in the use of an alphabetical 
arrangement for certain sub-sections combined with the decimal 
arrangement of main sections. This is sometimes useful in 
minute subdivisions. For example, under 621.728, material and 
supplies for the foundry, these various materials may be arranged 
in alphabetical order. 

The use of form divisions is a modification that may oflen be 
employed to advantage. There are certain set forms that are 
used throughout the whole range of the Dewey classification. 
These are : 

01 Philosophy or theory 

02 Oompends, text books, etc. 

03 Cyclopedias, dictionaries 

04 Essays, addresses 

05 Periodicals 

06 Societies 

07 Education, teaching. Schools, colleges, universities 

08 Tables, calculations. Miscellanies 

09 History. Progress and development 

These forms may be further extended ; thus : 

064 Exhibits, etc. (under societies) 
072 Laboratories (under universities) 

Other form divisions which apply particularly to engineering 
are the following: 

001 Statistics 

002 Quantities and costs 

003 Contracts and specifications 

004 Designs and drawings 

005 Executive 

006 Working and maintenance 



EXTENSION DECIMAL SYSTEM OP CLASSIFICATION . 7 

007 Laws 

008 Patents 

009 Keports 

These form divisions may be enclosed in parentheses and an- 
nexed directly to the usual class number. Thus 62(07) indicates 
engineering education ; 621.32(09), progress of electric lighting; 
621.57(008), patents on ice-making machinery, etc. The object 
of this parenthesis separation of the form divisions is convenience 
in cross-references. For example if one is interested in patents 
he may write his class numbers as follows : 

(008)62 Patents Engineering 
(008)66 Patents Chemical technology 
(008)69 Patents Building 

In this way all cards on patents are grouped together. 
Other modifications will suggest themselves to the user as he 
becomes more familiar with the system.
