It is presented as "The IET manufacturing engineer" (on the cover and
masthead) and the running title is: IET manufacturing engineer.
There is a thumbnail image available at http://www.ietdl.org/ME

Thanks for clarifying how the new rules apply in this case, Steve.

Subject: Re: IET manufacturing engineer - title change?

I agree with Beth up to a point.  If there was ambiguous typography or
presentation and/or if the change were not presented in other sources
(specifically the masthead/publication statement) then I think Beth's
suggestion of "At head of title" is a great solution.  However, if there
was a clear decision made on the part of the publisher (reflected in a
publisher statement and/or consistent presentation of what is clearly a
changed title), then I think the cataloger would have been hard-pressed
to not consider the change to be a title change.

And remember, according to pre-2002 rules, issuing bodies added to the
beginning of titles were considered title changes.  So if the
presentation were not ambiguous (which is hard to tell without piece in
hand), then we would actually have three records for the title in
question.
