Top 10 Inventions of the Industrial Revolution

The British Industrial Revolution transformed life at work and at home for practically everyone. Noise, pollution, social upheaval, and repetitive jobs were the price to pay for labour-saving machines, cheap and comfortable transportation, more affordable consumer goods, better lighting and heating, and faster ways of communication.

Any shortlist of inventions is bound to be far from complete, but the following have been chosen not only for what they could do but also for how they permitted other inventions to become possible and how they transformed working life and everyday living for millions of people. The period under consideration is also important and here is taken as 1750 to 1860. With these criteria in mind, the top 10 inventions of the Industrial Revolution were:

The Watt Steam Engine (1778)

The Power Loom (1785)

The Cotton Gin (1794)

Gas Street Lighting (1807)

The Electromagnet (1825)

The First Photograph (c. 1826)

Stephenson's Rocket (1829)

The Electrical Telegraph (1837)

The Steam Hammer (1839)

Mass Steel Production (1856)

The Watt Steam Engine

The steam engine, which harnessed power from the expansion of heated water, is often cited as the single most important invention of the Industrial Revolution, principally because so many other important subsequent inventions used it as their power source. The steam engine was born from the necessity to pump out flooded mine shafts and enable deeper mining. The first steam pump was invented by Thomas Savery (c. 1650-1715) in 1698. In 1712, Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) perfected his more powerful steam pump to drain coal mines of water in Dudley in the Midlands.

To make the steam engine more useful for other purposes, it had to be made more efficient both in terms of fuel consumption and power. The Scottish instrument maker James Watt (1736-1819) and Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) kept tinkering with the workings of the steam engine until, in 1778, they had perfected a separate condenser to vastly increase the engine's efficiency. Power was also increased by the steam powering the piston down not just up (hence its name, a double-acting engine), increasing the 'horsepower', a term coined by Watt. The engine also had its power converted to a more versatile rotary motion using a flywheel. Using just one-quarter of the fuel of Newcomen's engine, Watt's engine was cheap enough to use almost anywhere. Steam engines kept on evolving, notably with the expansion steam engine, and they benefitted from ever-better tool machinery that could make stronger and better-fitting parts.

By 1800, Britain boasted over 2,500 steam engines, most of them used in mines, cotton mills, and manufacturing factories. 500 of these engines were made by the Watt and Boulton factory in Birmingham. Every walk of life was affected. Steam now powered fountains, threshing machines, sewage pumps, and printing presses. Essentially, any work that required pushing, pulling, lifting, or pressing could be made much more efficient using steam-powered machines. Steam engines were harnessed for trains and steamships, and, aptly, all these uses caused a boom in the coal mining industry, which had been the origin of the machine in the first place.

Atlantic Station: before, after, & thoughts for the future

This is Atlantic Station (note: I've got this upside-down, with north on the bottom). It was built on a 138-acre brownfield, the former site of an Atlantic Steel facility that required major remediation.

The work involved the removal of 180,000 cubic yards of slag-contaminated soil. Steel slag is a by-product of steel manufacturing. In the absence of regulatory controls, it had been disposed of directly onto the Atlantic Steel property.

Also required was the installation of a groundwater extraction system to prevent contaminated water from running into adjacent properties or the municipal sewer system.

In 2002, this remediation work cost $25 million. The City of Atlanta created a Tax Allocation District in 1999 as part of a financing plan for the Atlantic Station project.

[Info source: Atlantic Station, Atlanta, Georgia: A Sustainable Brownfield Revitalization Best Practice, By Christopher De Sousa and Lily-Ann D’Souza. Image source: Google Earth]

There's no doubt that this was a majorly impressive undertaking.

But can we do even better for urban sustainability on this property? I see room for a BRT line through connecting to Howell Mill Rd and to MARTA rail, for instance. And how about a protected bike path?

Can we also improve the way this fits into the city's system of neighborhoods so that it feels like a natural extension? I'd like to see some truly public-owned space here with a community center, a library, and a city park.

HANÁCKÝ KROJ TRADITIONAL FOLK DRESS FROM CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Powerhouse Collection

Outfit, hanacky kroj (traditional folk dress), womens, cotton / embroidery / lace / silk, embroidered in part and worn by Olga Kupkova (nee Skacelova), designed and made in the Hana region of Moravia, former Czechoslovakia (Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia), 1940

This women's hanacky kroj dating from 1940 is a well provenanced example of traditional dress from the Hana region of Moravia in Czechoslavakia. Worn and partly made by Olga Kupkova the dress includes twelve components, intricately constructed and embroidered by specialist seamstresses and needleworkers, reflecting the time, expense and variety of skills that go into creating hanacky kroj. The style and design reflect the importance placed on communicating and celebrating regional identity through dress. In addition its elaborate composition and embellishment are meant to remind the viewer that it originates from Hana, one of the most prosperous areas of Moravia, which was renowned for producing the richest and most complicated designs. The related Hanacky Kroj book explains the social significance of the hanacky kroj, the very specific conventions for manufacture and wear. This is reinforced through the inclusion of patterns for components of the outfit and embroidery, step by step instructions on how to make it and information on the fabric, threads, starches and the costs involved as well as the names and addresses of specialist makers including shoe makers, embroiderers, lace makers and seamstresses who can assist with making components of the outfit. The social and cultural importance of kroj is explained in the introduction by Dr Jan Kuhndel 'Kroj is an expensive, precious and sacred symbol of national and tribal tradition. It is a child of the Baroque era and its style, in which Czech soul found its festive days, cultural base and unqiue folk art. Every kroj is a mirror and a expression of its era, its region, and its people.' Furthermore, as records of Czechoslovakian immigration in New South Wales, the garments form part of an important historical narrative concerning the experience of refugee escape and settlement in Australia. The significance of the costume collection is further increased by its well provenanced history associated with the Skacelova/Kupkova/Slezacek family and the accompanying photographs of Olga Kupkova wearing the hanacky kroj and Olga Slezacek wearing the childs traditional dress.

Well, I have just been smacked in the face by the reality of time marching on...

I mentioned that I originally wrote my Donatello road trip story, Displaced close to thirty years ago, and only just recently re-edited it for AO3, right? Well, I got curious about my dad's old workplace, which was mentioned and shown in the story...

I could just make out a building nearby, and my eyes followed the brick structure's lines upward to where it gave way to a smokestack so tall that it vanished into the night sky. I got dizzy looking up, so I lowered my eyes back to the building itself, and it slowly registered in my mind that I was probably at an industrial park, and that what I was looking at was most likely the power house.

I went on to describe the inside of the place, as well as the character of Jim, who was based on my dad.

But anyway, I just found out that they have turned the old industrial park into luxury apartments.

Seriously...

Nestled between the Chicopee River and Dwight Canal, the Apartments at Ames Privilege combine the historic charm of a mill building with modern convenience for your contemporary lifestyle. Built in 1847 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Ames Manufacturing Company building once produced Civil War swords and cannons. Today, after undergoing restorations and renovations, the building has been transformed into a city-center living community of 149 apartment homes that feature oversized windows, vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls and massive wood beams. This vibrant community is centrally located just steps from Downtown Chicopee shopping & restaurants, and is minutes from Route 391, conveniently connecting you to surrounding towns and interstate highways. Experience contemporary mill living at the Apartments at Ames Privilege.

The smokestack has been repaired as a "feature", but the powerhouse is gone...

I mean, here it is back in the day...

And here it is now...

And I understand the need to update things and keep old buildings from crumbling to dust or causing harm to people if they go into a damaged structure, but seeing a part of my childhood changed in such a way just makes me sad.

This is worse than when they turned the old Rivoli Theater into a bar and my favorite (and first) comic book store into a smoke shop...

Hero of the Forest

Their goal was survival

Tuvia Bielski was a Jewish resistance fighter who saved 1200 Jews by creating a haven for refugees deep in the Polish forest.

Born in 1906, Tuvia was one of twelve children in the only Jewish family in Stankiewicze, Poland, then part of the Russian Empire (modern-day Belarus.) His native language was Yiddish, and he also spoke Polish and German. His natural facility with languages led to Tuvia serving as a child interpreter for the German army during their occupation of Stankevich during World War I. In 1927 Tuvia was recruited into the Polish Army and became a corporal before completing his military service.

After leaving the army, Tuvia returned to his hometown, now part of the Soviet Union. He married and operated a mill and general store, living a relatively quiet life until 1941, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. The Germans created a ghetto in the nearby town of Nowogrodek, and forced local Jews out of their homes and into the squalid ghetto. In the chaos, Tuvia and his younger brothers Zus and Asael managed to escape into the forest and vowed they would never be captured by the Germans. Meanwhile, in the Nowogrodek ghetto German officers were massacring Jews for sport, including Tuvia’s parents and two brothers. 

Deep in the Polish forest, Tuvia created a training base for resistance fighters which also became a safe haven for Jews fleeing from the Germans. Other Jews who’d managed to avoid or escape the ghetto joined the Bielskis in their secret forest hideout. The band of militants became known as the Bielski otriad (brigade). By the summer 1943 there were seven hundred Jews in the Naliboki forest hideout, a mix of resistance fighters and terrified refugees. 

At first the Bielski otriad conducted sabotage actions against the Germans such as burning crops so the soldiers couldn’t eat, and executing German collaborators. But as time went on, the Bielski group’s only goal became survival, for themselves and as many other Jews as they could save. Tuvia turned the humble forest haven into an organized community. All the Jews who found refuge there contributed resources and expertise in different areas. Under Tuvia’s strong leadership, the secret forest hideout grew into something resembling a tiny village, with a hospital, school, manufacturing facility, butcher shop, tailor, and even a house band featuring prominent Jewish musicians. Tuvia reached out to other partisan groups to trade food, weapons and other supplies. 

In the beginning, the forest group consisted mostly of young men, those brave enough to escape the ghetto and strong enough to engage in guerrilla warfare. By 1944, most of the Jews finding refuge in the forest were women, children, and the sick and aged. The Bielski group was perhaps the most impactful Jewish resistance effort during World War II, saving the lives of over 1200 Jews.

After the war Tuvia moved to Israel and ultimately immigrated to New York, where he operated a trucking business with two brothers who’d survived the war. He died and was buried in New York in 1987, but the next year his remains were exhumed and buried in Jerusalem, where he was given a state funeral with full military honors. 

Twenty years later, in 1988, Daniel Craig portrayed Tuvia in the film Defiance, a critical and commercial hit about the Bielski group.

For creating a community of fighters and survivors deep in the forest and saving 1200 lives, we honor Tuvia Bielski as this week’s Thursday Hero.

i'm a bit ambivalent toward FAUDA the palestinian anarchist group; i'm glad they exist tho

that said i was reading this interviews (X) with 3 of its members (with interestingly 3 really distinct vibes) and there is a moment when one of them say the following about the two state solution:

Imagine someone comes to your home and forcefully robs your home. After he sees that you are resisting and won’t leave your home, he suggests that you share your home between you both. Does this make sense to you?

so a basic metaphore with kind of a classic nationalist framing but in a my own view taking the metaphore somewhat on its own my answers to "Does this make sense to you?" is yes sometimes that's how it must be

to go back to the state framing i would describe my own preference for a one state solution as being budgetary, as a way to somewhat enmeshing the rights and guarantees in a shared constituency

in the anarchist framing the logic of ignoring the tittle deeds and having to share fairly is just taken to it's more radical end; especialy seeing how the various home robbers have already made the better part of the home their homes in fact and othen in "rights" and sometimes for a long way back and that to avoid destitution you might need to take on the role of the robber

but even when there is no rober, either fresh one or heirs to ancestral one, where you might need to take the rolle of the robber insisting on sharing, hoppefully right off the bat and not only after facing resistance; for exemple i'm reminded in this passage in Le Guin's the dispossessed:

The train Shevek was on went along in short rushes and long waits, since all provision trains took precedence over it. Then it stopped altogether for twenty hours. An overworked or underschooled dispatcher had made an error, and there had been a wreck up the line. The little town where the train stopped had no extra food in its commons or warehouses. It was not a farm community, but a mill town, manufacturing concrete and foamstone, built on the fortunate congruence of lime deposits and a navigable river. There were truck gardens, but it was a town dependent upon transport for food. If the four hundred and fifty people on the train ate, the one hundred and sixty local people would not. Ideally, they would all share, all half-eat or half-starve together. If there had been fifty, or even a hundred, people on the train, the community probably would have spared them at least a baking of bread. But four hundred and fifty? If they gave that many anything, they would be wiped out for days. And would the next provisions train come, after those days? And how much grain would be on it? They gave nothing. The travelers, having had nothing in the way of breakfast that day, thus fasted for sixty hours. They did not get a meal until the line had been cleared and their train had run on a hundred and fifty miles to a station with a refectory stocked for passengers. It was Shevek's first experience of hunger. He had fasted sometimes when he was working because he did not want to be bothered with eating, but two full meals a day had always been available: constant as sunrise and sunset. He had never even thought what it might be like to have to go without them. Nobody in his society, nobody in the world, had to go without them. While he got hungrier, while the train sat hour after hour on the siding between a scarred and dusty quarry and a shut-down mill, he had grim thoughts about the reality of hunger, and about the possible inadequacy of his society to come through a famine without losing the solidarity that was its strength. It was easy to share when there was enough, even barely enough, to go round. But when there was not enough? Then force entered in; might making right; power, and its tool, violence, and its most devoted ally, the averted eye. The passengers' resentment of the townsfolk got bitter, but it was less ominous than the behavior of the townsfolk — the way they hid behind “their” walls with “their” property, and ignored the train, never looked at it. Shevek was not the only gloomy passenger; a long conversation meandered up and down beside the stopped cars, people dropping in and out of it, arguing and agreeing, all on the same general theme that his thoughts followed. A raid on the truck gardens was seriously proposed, and bitterly debated, and might have been carried out, if the train had not hooted at last for departure.

“Ford Strike Second In Numbers,” Windsor Star. November 26, 1942. Page 3. ---- Only Winnipeg Walkout Involved More Men Than 13,500 Out in Row Here ---- A study of available records shows that the strike at the Ford Motor Company of Canada war plants, affecting an estimated 13.500 workers, is overshadowed in numbers only by the sympathetic general strike at Winnipeg in May, 1919. which involved about 27,000 emploves.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKES The work stoppage in Winnipeg, stemming from a dispute which members of the metal trades there had with their employers over wage increases and the question of a 44-hour week, led to the calling of sympathetic strikes in Brandon, Man., Calgary, Edmonton. Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert, Sask. 

After the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council had championed the cause of the striking metal workers, street railwaymen. elevator men, postal employes, clerical and stenographic workers, employes of department stores and some classes of railway and municipal workers stopped work in sympathy with the strikers. 

Later, newspaper pressmen struck, being joined by telephone, telegraph and electrical workers and cutting Winnipeg off from communication with the outside world. Processions, demonstrations and rioting followed, resulting in casualties, including one death.

LEADERS ARRESTED On June 17, seven labor leaders who had taken prominent part in the strike were arrested on charges of seditious conspiracy, and on June 25 a royal commission of inquiry was requested by the strike committee and subsequently held. Within a few days there was a general return to work. 

Of the strike leaders arrested, six were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment April 6. 1920, five for one i year and one for six months. 

In 1924, more than 7.000 coal miners in Alberta and British Columbia engaged in a walkout which lasted from April until October, and caused a time loss of more than 1.000. 000 working days. 

Approximately 11,500 Nova Scotia coal miners were involved in a walkout in 1925, and before this dispute was settled they had lost nearly 1.500.000 working days. Disputes in the mining industry accounted for slightly more than 90 percent of the total time lost through work stoppages that year.

CAUSES OF FRICTION Records of industrial disputes show that from 1901 to 1936 changes in wages constituted the most, important cause of friction between employers and employes.

Since 1936, however, union questions, chiefly union recognition, the discharge of workers for union activity or membership and the employment of union members only in closed shops have led to many strikes and caused about 40 percent of the total time lost.

Most of the important disputes after 1931 occurred in textile and clothing manufacturing, logging, saw-milling and wood-working industries, with a substantial number arising in coal mining. 

In 1941, strikes in the mining and metal manufacturing industries caused three-quarters of the time loss, which that year was greatest in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Quebec. The principal disputes involved gold miners at Kirkland Lake, Ont., coal miners at Glace Bay, N.S., metal products factory workers at Toronto and St. Catharines. Ont., aluminum workers at Arviria. Que., and steel rolling-mill workers at Montreal. 

Ford Plant Gates Are Closely Picketed TYPICAL of the manner in which the tightly-guarded gates of the Ford Plant were picketed this morning is shown here. The man directly in the centre of the croup of pickets, carrying a parcel, identified himself as a painter who had been previously denied admission to Plant 2. He is shown as he was surrounded by pickets at the door of the main office where he evidently intended to learn his status. As an hourly-rated employe, he was meat for the pickets because they have instructions not to admit any in that category. The photographer who took this picture, contrary to picketing instructions, was told to get out of the vicinity of the plant or have his car overturned and his camera smashed. The union denied instructions had been issued to bar photographers.

A good CNC shop will have a highly skilled staff with years of experience behind them, as well as the right tools for each job. They will be able to deliver accurate results with consistent quality that can withstand the harshest conditions. This is especially important when working with military aircraft parts that operate in a variety of climates. Those same experienced machinists will often be able to offer insight that can improve the CAD design before production. This is known as design for manufacturability, and it can save the customer time, money and future headaches. Solid client-vendor relationships are key to any successful business. Without them, projects are prone to miscommunication, contentiousness and missed deadlines. If a machining vendor is unwilling to communicate openly and quickly, or doesn't treat their clients with the respect they deserve, they will be unable to meet your expectations for high-quality work. They may even struggle to deliver your machined parts on time.

2. Fast Turnaround

Many local machine shops focus on delivering high quality work quickly, which can be valuable for project managers who are working under tight deadlines. A fast turnaround time can also help a machine shop avoid additional costs for late deliveries or quality issues down the road. When choosing a local machine shop, be sure to look at their reviews and reputation in the industry. You can do this by looking up their business online and checking their social media. This will give you a good idea of how their customers feel about the services they provide. In addition, you should also consider a machine shop’s capacity to accommodate your specific needs. Look for a company that has a wide range of equipment, from traditional mills to 3D printers and injection molding machines. This way, you can be sure that they will have the capabilities to complete your project successfully. Choosing the right metal fabrication and CNC machining company is an important decision that can have significant financial impacts for your business in the long run. The best machine shops will be able to meet your specific needs, while offering competitive prices and outstanding customer service. This is what sets them apart from the competition. It is well worth the extra effort to find a shop that will make your job easier in the long run.

3. Competitive Pricing

As machine shops advance technologically they are able to offer better pricing on their services. This is mainly due to the fact that they are able to produce work at faster rates than their competition, which in turn lowers their production costs. Consequently, it is in the best interest of companies that are in need of high-quality fabrication to seek out the services of a machine shop to ensure that they receive competitive pricing for their products. The future of machine shops is deeply invested in the integration of artificial intelligence into their machinery and robotics. This will allow machines to execute manufacturing tasks at a rate and precision equal to that of human engineers. This will greatly improve production efficiency and quality. In addition to advancing technology, machine shops are also committed to sustainability and eco-friendliness.

Building a Better Future: How Atta Manufacturers Contribute to Food Security Food security has emerged as the major concern in this fast-mov­ing world. Among all the players on the playground, an atta man­ufacturer occupies greater importance. These turn out to be among the best in the manufacture of such basic and vital foods, and their roles in community sustenance hence contribute toward global food security.

Importance of Food Security

Food security is not only a question of supply, but it is assured of the right to safe, sufficient, and nutritionally adequate food available at all times to all people. Food availability is basic to health maintenance and economic development, and it is critical to social stability. 

What is an Atta Manufacturer?

It is one of the most available kinds of wholemeal flour, which has conventionally been used in the cuisine of South Asia. Wheat processing into atta is a sort of staple production, necessary for cooking such traditional meals as roti, naan, and paratha. Atta manufacturers also come as very significant in the perspective of preserving quality and nutritious value of the flour.

Quality and Safety Control

One major responsibility rests on the shoulders of an atta manufacturer: quality control. They are so supposed to keep the standards very strict, hence the flour be free from contamination and ends up with no loss of nutritional value. With these set rigid test processes and following guidelines laid down by the regulating authorities, the atta manufacturers help in their way to public health.

Supportive to the cause of local economies

They are considerably supplied with the wheat they need from farmers based within and around the same area of operation. Hence, this becomes a symbiotic relationship that empowers the local economies. The liaison in effect provides a means of price stabilization of wheat and hence presents the farmers with a sure means of income as well as a raw material supply avenue to the producers.

Innovations in Production

The gains from Tehcnogains down the value chain have reorganized the production process of atta. It is the efficient modern milling techniques, precision farming, and quality control systems that raise efficiency and quality. Innovation thus easily translates into regular supplies of high-quality atta-assured quality, so vital for food safety.

Over the recent years, the Atta manufacturers have become more involved in the promotion of sustainable farming practices. They urge farmers to adapt to environmental-friendly forms of farming and also increase resilience in their crops so that they can have consistency in their value chain.

Improvement in Nutritional Values

And the manufacturers of atta are ever eager that the nutritional value of their product is improved. The fortification of atta with vital vitamins and minerals would go a long way in fighting off the deficiencies of different types of nutrients in populations. Such initiatives point to what important role a manufacturer can play not just in food security, but also in ensuring public health.

Community Engagement and Sensitization

The manufacturers of atta participate in community participation to make people aware about healthy and nutritious consumption of food. An environment of health-consciousness is therefore made. They arrange nutrition awareness seminars and camps along with the support of the local groups.

Global Perspective:

Large consumption of atta is confined to South Asia, although it is finding its customers slowly across the world. Earlier, a number of manufacturing companies catered to this growing need by exporting high-quality flour to meet the market across the globe. This move serves as effective support for assured supply of food products to most parts of the world.

While basically, the industry aligns in ensuring food security; their manufacturers are more often found struggling with each day. Fluctuating price of wheat, beef, disruptions in supply chain, and regulatory hurdles are only a few of those. These challenges, moreover, will need collaboration and cooperation along the multi-stakeholder level that includes government and NGOs, both, and even private sectors.

Successes in the Industry

Success stories abound, telling how much manufacturers of atta have contributed to food security. Some come up with drought-resistant wheat varieties, while others have involved the community through community-based distribution networks so that the food actually reaches some of the most vulnerable populations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How do manufacturers of atta influence food security in a region?

The Atta manufacturers provide most people's diet with constant supplies of good quality and nutritious flour, help in quality maintenance, and thus are important in the local economies, having a bearing on food safety.

Q2. What kind of innovations play the role of Atta manufacturers?

Other inventions are efficient milling techniques, precise cultivation techniques and other value addition techniques that bring efficiency and quality into the product for nutritional 'atta' supplies.

Contribution of atta manufacturing industries to sustainability: Atta processing encompasses wheat cultivation which, to a certain extent, is affected by climatic alteration hence ensures the sustainability of food in the long term through development of sustainable agriculture and the production of resilient varieties of wheat.

Conclusion

Atta manufacturers are, therefore, not sources of flour but an essential constituent in the quest for food security. Quality control, technological innovation, and community interaction have made them that irreplaceable part, so far as wholesome food supply and augmentation of local economies are concerned. This also is the effort being directed in this direction that can be understood and supported only if we march cooperatively towards a future of guaranteed food security.
