The role of instruments has never been generally recognized as a core pursuit in history of science studies. Issues which explain this have been tackled in a book, Thing Knowledge, by Davis Baird. It is significant that Baird, of the Philosophy Department of the University of South Carolina, is the son of Walter S. Baird, who... 

Element . [4] The use radiochemists made of physical instrumentation makes them into transition figures between traditional analytical chemistry, based on the treatment with known compounds and the observation of reactions, and today s intensely instrumentalized analytical chemistry, which allow one to discriminate chemicals in terms of their physical properties , as Davis Baird has put it. Baird further observes that, prior to 1920, physical identification always followed on chemical separation and manufacture whereas from 1950, as instrumentation grew in importance, elements in substances could be identified and controlled without separating them. His claim that chemistry thereby underwent a scientific instrumentation revolution is not wholly substantiated by the papers that follow. Quite aside from the nineteenth century precedents referred to above, the techniques of the radioactive scientists clearly put them in an intermediate position between both traditions. [5]...

The electron-rich ruthenium center can render the bound X ligand nucleophilic as has been demonstrated by the reactions of (rj5-C5H5)-(PPh3)2Ru—C=N (30) with a variety of electrophiles. Baird and Davies have shown, for example, that addition of alkyl halides to 30 gives the corresponding isocyanides in moderate yield [Eq. (32)] (29). Other... 

The philosopher Davis Baird has already noted the reason for this.40 Ultimately Baird has a very different purpose from mine for examining the Indicator Diagram, namely to demonstrate the supposed autonomy of the indicator as an instrument across transformations in the theoretical understanding of what it measures ... 

In all these ways, then, the story of the indicator captures much of the process whereby the mechanical Watt eclipsed the chemical Watt in the nineteenth century. The indicator also raises other broader theoretical and historiographical issues going beyond the present study but upon which it throws some light. These issues, which have to do with the whole question of the relations of science and technology, are raised by Davis Baird s notion of Thing Knowledge as applied to the case of the indicator.
