What this check doesn’t establish
- Read from scans in a third-party archive of Technocracy Inc. material; no stable public URL is recorded.
- The pamphlet's claim that the design dates from 1923 is the publisher's own.
Confidence applies to the scope above, not every claim made by the underlying source. How confidence works
Source for the Continental Hydrology beat and the closing quotations in the Technate graphic. The waterway routes in the graphic are traced from its map and are approximate.
Scans: the pamphlet (cover, text and quotations) and the map with Power for a Continent, both from a Technocracy Inc. archive of 407 records.
