(IMechE) in 1847. The ''Proceedings'' were published under this single title until 1963, when they began to be published in two parts. The ''Proceedings'' have since expanded further, in part by incorporating four journals previously published separately: the ''Proceedings of the Institution of Automobile Engineers'' (in 1971), the ''Journal of the Institution of Locomotive Engineers'' (in 1971), the ''Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science'' (in 1983) and ''Engineering in Medicine'' (in 1989). Sixteen individual parts now make up the ''Proceedings'', as follows: * Part A: Journal of Power and Energy * Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture * Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science * Part D: Journal of Automobile Engineering * Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering * Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit * Part G: Journal of Aerospace Engineering * Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine * Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering * Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology * Part K: Journal of Multi-body Dynamics * Part L: Journal of Materials: Design and Applications * Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment * Part N: Journal of Nanoengineering and Nanosystems * Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability * Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology In 2010,
