Medieval Scottish economic and social history has held little interest for a unionist establishment but, just when a recovery of historic independence begins to seem possible, this paper tackles a (perhaps the) key pre-1424 source. It is compared with a Rutland text, in a context of foreign history, both English and continental. The Berwickshire text is not, as was suggested in 2014, a ‘compte rendu’ but rather an ‘extent’, intended to cross-check such accounts. Read alongside the Rutland roll, it is not even a single ‘compte’ but rather a palimpsest of different sources and times: a possibility beyond earlier editorial imaginings. With content falling (largely) within the time-frame of the PoMS project (although not actually included), when the economic history of Scotland in Europe is properly explored, the sources discussed here will be key and will offer an interesting challenge to interpretation. And some surprises about their nature and date.

This article provides an historical account of the U.S. military’s creation of and reliance upon Earth observation media to orient their ability to conduct first the Cold War and then the War on Terror. Two technological case studies are provided: 1) an account of the development of the Semi-Automated Ground Environment (SAGE) system developed to automate the surveillance necessary for anti-nuclear bomber defence; and 2) a brief history of drone development from the nineteenth century to the present war on terror. These observational media systems provide evidence of how Kittler’s two claims regarding media development merge in the teleology of the digital and the “war answer” in which warfare has come to be autonomously guided by computerized media.Cet article offre un compte-rendu historique de la création de médias d’observation de la planète par l’armée américaine et de la dépendance de celle-ci sur ces médias pendant la Guerre froide et, par la suite, la Guerre contre le terrorisme. Deux études de cas sur la technologie s’ensuivent : 1) la présentation du Système d’infrastructure semi-automatique au sol (SAGE), développé afin d’automatiser la surveillance requise pour se défendre contre des bombardiers munis d’armes nucléaires; et 2) une brève histoire du développement des drones à partir du dix-neuvième siècle jusqu’à la Guerre contre le terrorisme actuelle. Ces systèmes d’observation montrent comment les deux affirmations de Friedrich Kittler sur le développement des médias convergent vers une téléologie du numérique et une « réponse guerrière », où la guerre se fait désormais par ordinateur.
