I am doing some research on the relationship between engineering design standards and the introduction of design innovations. From a historical standpoint, I'm interested in the standardization of railroad guages, which occurred over the period 1860-1885. I haven't yet done a literature search on the topic, but I'd be interested in pointers to references on this subject or on the subject of standardization generally. Thanks.
