   Thanks for those pointers, it looks like he wrote five "nongenre" novels, http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/ea.cgi?18 . I was looking at his time-travel collection, Years in the Making.

   Separately, Charles Singer edited a 1950's History of Technology encyclopedia which is well respected: http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/2013/07/28/the-history-of-th... and http://www.amazon.com/review/RG20DEV8YLX39/ref=cm_cr_rdp_per...
