The New Terrain And Distance Viewing

New technologies were used such as alloying and casting metals for tools, weapons, and luxury goods.

Producing improved methods on machinery use, spread throughout American industry after the civil war. This created a higher quantity of products at a faster pace. At times product were being produced so rapidly that this caused an over stock of merchandise because sales were not able to move as fast as the products were being

When Blacksmiths were first starting, they would blow on the flames to stoke them and would hit molten pieces of metal with rock. As time progressed on, the put a handle on their rocks and used a bellows to stoke the flame. In modern times blacksmiths used a hand crank fan and used the hammers that we use today. What blacksmiths make has also changed quite a bit. In the past they would make almost everything, from tools, to wagons, to pans. As time went on they made less things, especially weapons as more machines could mass produce them, and blacksmithing almost died out in the industrial revolution. In modern times blacksmiths are almost never called upon to make anything other than decorative items for people who want something hand made. The prices have changed, for example, as stated by, ,"Blacksmith Emerson Bixby of Barre, Massachusetts charged as little as 2¢ to make a simple small item such as an axe wedge; 12¢ to "mend" (repair) a hoe; an average of 75¢ to mend an axe; 79¢ to shoe an ox; between $1.00 and $1.50 to "new lay" (repair and reshape) a plow; and as much as $5.50 to make and apply all the ironwork on a new wagon.¨ Money from 1850 has changed a lot to now, $100 in 1850=$2,931.69 in 2016. Weapons have also changed a lot over the centuries. For example gunpowder was invented in China in the 9th century. The first gun was fired in 1364 and inventions followed quickly after. Some notable ones are 1498-rifling, 1818-revolver, 1855-Minié ball, 1887-repeating shotgun, and 1892-automatic

The people of the world had a strong demand for up and coming products, so factories needed a new method for coming about creating products. “The Encarta graphic showing Henry Ford’s Assembly Line” (Document 4) shows that in one 8 hour work period, 1 man could put together a single car, whereas 5 men in an assembly line could put together 10 cars in an 8 hour work period. “The Encarta Graphic showing the factory” (Document 3) shows that the production of goods increasing due to the train outside used to transport mass quantities of goods, and the steam coming out of the top

With every improvement comes another. There are some differences between the first and second industrial revolution.

There is perhaps no other invention in American history quite as important as steel. Steel is made of mostly iron, lime, and sometimes even scrap steel, but other metals can be added to make other types of steel. While there are many types of steel today, in industrial America, Carbon Steel was the most common form that was used. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of the steel produced was Carbon Steel. It proved stronger than iron and was relatively inexpensive to make. This strong, inexpensive steel revolutionized industrial America for many reasons. New, taller buildings could be built using new techniques of using steel to reinforce the buildings and new inventions such as cars

This meant that completing products took time, and the artisans that made these products had to be trained or apprenticed to become successful in their field. However, the invention of tools, the use of new energy systems like coal, electricity, petroleum, and steam engines (“Industrial” para 3), and the implementation of the factory system changed all of this. The use of steam energy even allowed factory owners to locate away from water sources (Sherman and Salisbury 524). Production methods were radically altered by all of these changes, because now unskilled workers had the opportunity to contribute to the production of products without training, and the speed of production for those products was able to increase substantially.

production process in the last ten years? What are they and how have they changed the process?

The reason I am interested in this section is because I want to know why people decided to change everything to machinery. How did they think to build factories? How long did it take them to be more equipped in the type of technology that was made?

Civilizations that had time and specialists would allow them to flourish and create steel. Not only would they have been powerful, but they would’ve gained the ability to overpower other places. When limestone was melted next to a fire, it created a plaster that could be used for multiple purposes and that taught them how to begin melting things. To begin creating steel, there were a few major requirements. There had to be hot, dry weather for melting and creating hot fires over thousands of degrees; water for transportation with the material made from steel; and iron ore.

More complex design conflicted with automated production line. It largely increased molding cost / production cost and caused an extremely low inventory turnover, much lower than its competitors. Major customers were frustrated by stock-out and slow-moving inventory.

Prior to the industrial revolution, products were built by either a craftsman or a group of craftsmen. They would start by using tools like knives to create the individual parts of the product. Then they would have to combine each part to form the final product while making cuts to adjust the parts so they could fit and work together. This process of production was very time consuming and it required a lot of effort both of which are the reasons why items that were made before the 18th century were highly priced. When the industrial revolution came about in the late 18th century the manufacturing industry experienced a great change in

Once the factory became common, technological advances were soon made to improve them, the most important of which was the division of labor.

The game is the best city building game out there by a mile and there are so many things you can do in the game. It allows you to manage anything from the economy to land planning – you can create your own Venice or build a San Francisco styled hillside city. The game also has an active mod community, which allows you to get your hands on custom maps and other such tools to improve the gameplay even further.

Carpentry has been around for quite some time yet has experienced a growth which includes updating the tools and safety of the profession.
