        abstract = {Historians of science have recently shifted their attention from studying innovation and
the production of knowledge to its consumption, dissemination, and circulation.
Historians and sociologists of technology have similarly been keen to explore the ways
technology is used rather than focus on the process of invention. Such approaches point
to the need for a better appreciation of everyday scientific and technical practices, and the
ongoing significance they give to existing ideas, techniques, and objects. This essay
argues that everyday scientific practice was often as much about preserving, repairing
and re-using the old as it was about innovation, and eighteenth-century natural
philosophers both participated in and contributed to the creation of a variety of such
practices.},
