       MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE OF JAPAN.The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) (日本機械学会 Nihon Kikai Gakkai)  established Japan's Mechanical Engineering Heritage (MEH) program in 2007. -- see JSME, "About 'Mechanical Engineering Heritage'" https://www.jsme.or.jp/kikaiisan/index-e.html#section2.The MEH listings highlight machines, related systems, factories, specification documents, textbooks, and other items that have had a significant impact on the development of mechanical engineering in Japan.  JSME acts to preserve these historical artifacts. Each listed item is assigned a MEH number. -- see Wikipedia "Mechanical Engineering Heritage (Japan)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_Engineering_Heritage_(Japan)#Collection_2.The MEH list includes the apparatus first installed in 1870 in the Kashinozaki Lighthouse in Wakayama Prefecture.  -- see Wikipedia "Kashinozaki Lighthouse" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashinozaki_Lighthouse; and see Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), "Mechanical Engineering Heritage No. 83." https://www.jsme.or.jp/kikaiisan/heritage_083_en.html.The light rotating system support pedestal and the rotating gear box at Kashinozaki are shown below..QUESTION:  The fact that historical artifacts can help us to understand the process of technology transfer begs a few questions -- for example, what else could be or should be added to this list in Japan? Or what should be preserved in other countries where this kind of program doesn't exist? .QOTO = Question Others to Teach Ourselves?
