Minton Tiles
The richly patterned and colored Minton tile floors are one of the most striking features of the extensions of the United States Capitol. They were first installed in 1856, when Thomas U. Walter was engaged in the design and construction of vast additions to the Capitol (1851-1865). For the floors in his extensions, Walter chose encaustic tile for its beauty, durability and sophistication.
•Artist: Minton, Hollins and Company
•Date: Installed in 1856
One striking example of the contrast between the interiors of the Old Capitol (finished in 1826) and the extensions (begun in 1851) may be seen in the differences in flooring materials. In the Old Capitol, stone pavers were used in corridors and other public spaces, such as the Rotunda and Crypt, while brick was used to floor committee rooms and offices. These materials, although durable and fireproof, would have looked plain and old-fashioned to the Victorian eye. In the mid-19th century, encaustic tile flooring was considered the most suitable and beautiful material for high-traffic areas. Unlike ordinary glazed tile, the pattern in encaustic tile is made of colored clays inlaid or imbedded in the clay ground. Because the color is part of the fabric of the encaustic tile, it will retain its beauty after years of wear. One observer noted:
“The indestructibility of tiles may be judged from the fact that the excavations at Pompeii have unearthed apartments where painted tiles are just as beautiful, the colors as fresh and bright as... when the fated city was in all its glory.”
Two types of tile were used at the U.S. Capitol: plain and inlaid encaustic tiles in a range of colors. Plain tiles were used as borders for the elaborate inlaid designs or to pave large corridor areas. They were available in seven colors: buff, red, black, drab, chocolate, light blue and white. Additional colors, such as cobalt blue, blue-gray, and light and dark green, appear in the inlaid encaustic tiles that form the elaborate centerpieces and architectural borders. They were made by “filling indentations in the unburnt tile with the desired colors and burning the whole together.”
The patterns and designs formed in the inlaid tiles were limited only by taste and imagination. They include geometric patterns such as the Greek key, guilloche, and basket weave; floral designs such as the fleur-de-lis; and figures such as dolphins and classical heads. Few of the patterns are repeated. Although most of the tiles are six-by-six-inch squares, some are round, triangular or pie-shaped. Approximately 1,000 different tile patterns are used in the corridors of the Capitol alone, and up to 100 different tiles may be needed to create a single design.
The original encaustic tiles in the Capitol extensions were manufactured at Stoke-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, England, by Minton, Hollins and Company. The firm’s patented tiles had won numerous gold medals at international exhibitions and were considered the best tiles made. In 1876, having seen Minton’s large display at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, one critic wrote, “Messr. Minton shone superior to all exhibits of the sort… and may be cited as showing the highest results in tile-pottery achieved by modern skill and research.”
Beginning in 1856, and continuing for five years, the tile was installed by the import firm of Miller and Coates of New York City. For the journey from New York to Washington, the tiles were packed in wooden casks weighing about 1100 pounds; each cask contained enough tiles to pave about 100 square feet. The cost of the tile ranged from $0.68 to $2.03 per square foot.
Thomas U. Walter had every reason to believe that the encaustic tile floors would last as long as his extensions stood. One visitor noted in 1859 that the tile floors vied with the beauty of marble and surpassed it in durability. While perhaps valid for other installations, however, this prediction proved overly optimistic for the Capitol Building. By 1924, the Minton tile was removed from the corridors in the first and second floors of the House Wing and replaced by “marble tile in patterns of a simple order.” In that day, marble was selected for its superior durability and because suitable replacement tile was difficult to find.
In the 1970s, however, a similar condition prompted a very different response. In 1972, a search was undertaken to determine a source of similar tiles in order to restore the original appearance of the building. Inquiries were made of all major American tile manufacturers, the American Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association, and even Mexican and Spanish tile suppliers. Although the colors and designs could be reproduced relatively easily, the patterns would quickly wear because they would be applied to the surface. The “inlaid” feature of the encaustic tiles, i.e., the approximately 1/8-inch thickness of the pattern and color, is the characteristic that enables the Minton tiles to be walked upon for over 100 years without signs of wear. It was this technique that formed the basic difficulty of manufacture.
Finally, as a result of the Capitol’s needs becoming generally known, the Architect of the Capitol was placed in contact with H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd., located at Stoke-on-Trent, England. It was discovered that that firm was a successor company to the Minton Tile Co. and had even retained many of the original hand tools and forms in a private museum at the company’s manufacturing site.
Contact was then made with Mr. James Ellis, the Directing Architect of Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings for the Crown. He had been trying for many years to establish a program for the replacement of the worn Minton tiles at the Houses of Parliament but had more or less given up the attempt because of H & R Johnson’s continued unwillingness to revive the encaustic tile process. However, the restoration work at the Arts and Industries Building of the Smithsonian Institution was in process at about the time the needs of the Capitol became known; it thus appeared that a market for such tiles was developing to the degree that the manufacturer began to reconsider its prior position. The company thus began the experiments that finally led to the present availability, after many decades, of the original Minton-type tiles.
Because the tiles in the Capitol are more decorative and have more complicated designs and color combinations than those in either the Houses of Parliament or the Smithsonian, those institutions were able to obtain replacement tiles sooner than the Capitol. The lessons learned in the manufacture of the simpler tiles served as a basis for filling the later needs.
Color photographs and full-sized drawings of the many required patterns were made and recorded, and many developmental submissions were made as the hand-made manufacturing process was re-developed. Finally, in 1986, the first acceptable tiles were delivered. The installation process was accomplished with modern cement adhesives and has yielded excellent results.
The program enabled the original tiles to be replaced with exact replicas. This project began on the first floor of the Senate wing, where the effects of 130 years of wear and tear were most noticeable. Replacement tile was closely scrutinized to ensure fidelity to the nineteenth-century originals. While difficult and slow, this process is the only fitting response to the history of the Capitol extensions, not only to restore the original beauty and elegance of these unique floors, but also to provide for their continuing attractiveness for the foreseeable future.

In this work mussels are lashed into an electro-stimulated design apparatus to make a vase. They are allowed to relax up to a certain point, then shocked, prompting movement that scratches a design onto the object. The resulting form might be seen as a sobering memento mori, a reflection on manufacturing processes that exploit biology.

On Scene with Watertown Volunteer with a smoky structure fire at 20 McLennan Dr in the Oakville section of town. First due crews found heavy smoke coming from Quality Automatics Inc ,a machine shop located at that address. Crews immediately stretched lines and hit the hydrant at the end of the dead end street for an additional water source. Extension ladders were used to access the roof for ventilation since powerlines prevented the aerial ladders from being used. The fire was brought under control after approximately 30 minutes but required extensive overhaul and ventilation. In addition hazmat precautions had to be taken due to the lubricants and by products of the manufacturing process at the business were mixed with the water and foam used to extinguish the blaze.

While my recommendations for transparency in the nail polish manufacturing process, improved product labeling, and the education of product users are important aspects of creating an awareness of the dangers of the Toxic Trio and the serious occupational/environmental hazards faced by nail salon workers, we must go beyond creating awareness and strive for systemic change.
Many of the serious health issues attributed to employment in a nail salon is linked to poor ventilation and the subsequent inhalation of toxic chemicals, including but not limited to Formaldehyde, DBP, and Toluene. Unfortunately for most nail salon workers, continuing work with these toxic environments is a matter of their livelihood at the expense of their personal health and well being.
The potential for changing a frustrating situation and more importantly improving the seemingly inevitable toxic environment within nail salons may be much more easily achieved than one may think. The answer to significantly improving air quality within a nail salon is rather simple, Ferns: The Natural Formaldehyde Filtration System.
As suggested by NASA research, Ferns are known for their remarkable ability to filter toxins out of the air, thus significantly improving air quality within a room by removing harmful airborne pollutants.The plant filters indoor environmental toxins by taking in the polluted air through their leaves and filtering down through the plant and into the soil where the microbes breakdown the chemicals into safer compounds. (1)
A Boston Fern is said to filter toxins, including Toluene and Formaldehyde, from the air and thus significantly improving air the surrounding air quality.
An idea for viably implementing a systemic change to improve the air quality within nail salons, is to use the information I have gathered in my research for How Stuff Is Made: Nail Polish, as a foundation for a proposal to Essie Cosmetics, asking them about the possibility of funding an initiative to place ferns within local nail salons. The ferns would be potted in containers printed with information about the natural filtration system that ferns provide and chemical associated with nail salons that are effectively being filtered from the air with the placement of the fern within the salon. Funding such a project would not only drastically improve the air quality and reduce the risk of serious health issues affecting nail salon workers, but could also provide an interesting marketing angle for Essie, taking corporate responsibility for improving the quality of life of those who use their products.
The Formaldehyde Levels and air quality within the nail salon who would participate in such a project could ideally be monitored before and after the ferns have been introduced into the environment, using air quality sensors that could feed information to Pachube and thus providing the visual and numerical evidence of systemic change.

[caption id="attachment_253" align="alignleft" width="179" caption="Animal Friend"][/caption]
For hundreds of millions of years, animals have lived close to nature. They've needed no intervention from a veterinary doctor, dietitian or fortune teller. They have hunted their food down and eaten it fresh as nature intended. In return, they have enjoyed abundant health and vitality which is nature's gift to them for being such good children. In direct contrast we humans have moved so far away from nature since we sauntered out of the Garden of Eden that we perhaps can't really remember anymore what it means to live according to nature's laws.
We have completely forsaken the wholesome diet the human body was originally designed to live on and have created some highly manufactured, processed and bleached junk we refer to as food. We decided to turn deaf ears to wise men like Hippocrates who asked us to "Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food". We even went against the Bible's gentle plea, “... and the fruit thereof shall be for meat and the leaf thereof for medicine" (Ezekiel 47:12). In return, we have been plagued by all manner of diseases too numerous to keep tabs on, and new ones are still being christianed by modern medical science even as we speak.
Unfortunately for our animal friends, our ancestors woke up one sunny morning thousands of years ago and decided to capture some animals and make them pets, to keep us company and amuse us. Pretty soon, these domesticated animals began sharing our lifeless foods, drinks and (worst) medicine. Soon they began shedding their long-cherished cloak of wholesome health and began developing cancers, heart diseases, debilitating bowel disorders and all the other crippling diseases the human race have brought upon themselves.
Still it did not become apparent to pet owners like myself what is really happening to our beloved companions. It was not clear to me why my dog Timmy started losing his appetite, became quite bloated and had his glossy black fur falling off his coat in clumps until it was nearly too late. Due to my great love for my dreamy-eyed canine friend, I had been feeding Timmy the very best dog food money could buy and treating him with the vet's top prescriptions, in addition to all the vaccines modern medicine suggests is crucial he must have for excellent health.
Nothing was too good or too expensive for my dear Timmy, I'll rather starve than deny him anything he wanted or needed, be it food, drinks, medication or toys. It was when he became ill and could hardly eat anything or stand on his own four feet for any length of time that I started researching natural pet health products and reading about herbal remedies for dogs, and for the very first time, I discovered that quite ignorantly I might have been killing my Timmy slowly over the years with love and affection.

At present, the chicken organic fertilizer fermentation process is the current environmentally friendly organic fertilizer manufacturing process www.organicfertilizermachinery.com/production-line/. In China, the organic fertilizer industry is still in the initial stage of development. However, China's organic fertilizer industry has problems such as small scale of enterprises, backward technology, difficult quality assurance, and insufficient market demand. Therefore, the development of animal husbandry, organic fertilizer plays an important role in this industry. The high-temperature aerobic trough type organic fertilizer fermentation stacker has good effect on processing organic fertilizer. How to ferment organic fertilizer which use organic fertilizer machine www.organicfertilizermachinery.com/products/?
The high-temperature aerobic trough type organic fertilizer fermentation stacker is mainly used for high-temperature aerobic fermentation of wastes such as livestock and poultry manure, kitchen waste, domestic sludge, etc., and uses the activity of microorganisms to biodecompose the organic matter in the waste to Achieve harmlessness, stabilization and reduction. Integrated sludge treatment equipment for resource utilization. The high-temperature aerobic trough type organic fertilizer fermentation stacker has good effect on processing organic fertilizer.
High temperature aerobic trough organic fertilizer fermentation stacker-mixing part The mixing part is to fully mix the livestock manure with high moisture content with auxiliary materials and high temperature biological fermentation bacteria in a certain proportion in the mixing machine to reach the fermentation conditions. Organic waste such as livestock and poultry manure can be fermented directly. The purpose of the mixture is mainly to achieve high temperature and aerobic fermentation conditions through the mixture, and to enable the material to have good permeability. The high-temperature aerobic trough type organic fertilizer fermentation stacker has good effect on processing organic fertilizer.
Chicken manure organic fertilizer production line fermentation: characteristics of high-temperature aerobic fermentation process
The main features of aerobic fermentation are land saving, investment saving, power consumption saving, no waste water and flue gas, no odor, no high pressure and boiler, eliminating potential safety hazards, simple equipment structure, convenient operation, stable product quality, good treatment effect.
High-temperature aerobic tank organic fertilizer fermentation stacker-high-temperature aerobic fermentation part This process can be divided into rapid heating stage, high temperature stage, and cooling stage. The material enters the fermentation chamber and decomposes rapidly within 1-2 days. The heat released rapidly increases the temperature of the material, and the temperature is generally 50 to 65 ° C. High temperature can reach 80 ℃. Oxygen is evenly distributed into the fermentation chamber through the air supply system to meet the oxygen demand in the fermentation process, so that the materials are fully fermented and decomposed, and the high temperature stage is maintained for 5-7 days. When the decomposition rate slowly decreases, the temperature gradually decreases. The entire fermentation process lasts 9-10 days. Increased temperature and ventilation and oxygenation accelerate the evaporation of the material moisture, thereby reducing the volume of the material and achieving the purpose of reducing and stabilizing the material; the temperature of the fermentation chamber is maintained at above 50 ℃ for 5 to 7 days, which can be better Eggs, pathogens and weed seeds. It meets the national "Livestock and Poultry Manure Harmless Standards" (GB7959-87) treatment requirements, to achieve the purpose of breeding manure treatment.
The fermentation tank of the tank-turning machine is to build two walls on the flat ground to form one or several fermentation tanks. The tank-turning machine / truck stacking machine works on the fermentation tank and is usually driven by a motor. Due to the high-speed rotation of the drum of the tank-turning machine, the blade on the drum crushes, mixes and stirs the fermentation materials in the fermentation tank, and at the same time, the materials are turned back and loosely stacked by the drum. Through the electric transmission device, the turning machine can realize the automatic lifting and rotating of the drum with rotary drum granulator www.organicfertilizermachinery.com/fertilizer-granulator-....
The chicken manure organic fertilizer equipment fermentation turning machine realizes the movement from one fermentation tank to another fermentation tank through a moving truck. A plurality of fermentation tanks can use a tank type stacking machine. The equipment can be used under the condition of ambient temperature of -20 degrees Celsius to 50 degrees Celsius. Fermentation organic fertilizer equipment also has a strong adaptability to the characteristics of fermentation materials. According to the particularity of fermentation materials, the equipment is made of corrosion-resistant materials, and the technology is durable.

CNC machined aluminium
Paused at 20%
"It was an inspried move to machine laptops from billets of aluminium as opposed to multi-part plastic mouldings.
The process has been paused after the second cut, with the signature rounded corners and the negative space for the hinge fixing. The rawness of the aluminium has an elemental tactility and unrefined beauty."
- Edward & Jay
Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.
The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”
Some deep marks from the manufacturing process still show, but overall it was a big improvement in appearance with a single application of polishing compound
In this work mussels are lashed into an electro-stimulated design apparatus to make a vase. They are allowed to relax up to a certain point, then shocked, prompting movement that scratches a design onto the object. The resulting form might be seen as a sobering memento mori, a reflection on manufacturing processes that exploit biology.

Advanced Additive Manufacturing for Hypersonic Aircraft
Utilizing new methods of fabrication and construction, make it possible to use additive manufacturing, dramatically reducing the time and costs of producing hypersonic platforms from missiles, aircraft, and space capable craft. Instead of aircraft being produced in piece, then bolted together; small platforms can be produced as a single unit and large platforms can be produces in large section and mated without bolting. These techniques include using exotic materials and advanced assembly processes, with an end result of streamlining the production costs and time for hypersonic aircraft; reducing months of assembly to weeks. Overall, this process greatly reduced the cost for producing hypersonic platforms. Even to such an extent that a Hellfire missile costs apx $100,000 but by utilizing our technologies, replacing it with a Mach 8-10 hypersonic missile of our physics/engineering and that missile would cost roughly $75,000 each delivered.
Materials used for these manufacturing processes are not disclosed, but overall, provides a foundation for extremely high stresses and thermodynamics, ideal for hypersonic platforms. This specific methodology and materials applications is many decades ahead of all known programs. Even to the extend of normalized space flight and re-entry, without concern of thermodynamic failure.
*Note, most entities that are experimenting with additive manufacturing for hypersonic aircraft, this makes it mainstream and standardized processes, which also applies for mass production.
What would normally be measured in years and perhaps a decade to go from drawing board to test flights, is reduced to singular months and ready for production within a year maximum.
Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle (U-TBCC)
To date, the closest that NASA and industry have achieved for turbine based aircraft to fly at hypersonic velocities is by mounting a turbine into an aircraft and sharing the inlet with a scramjet or rocket based motor. Reaction Engines Sabre is not able to achieve hypersonic velocities and can only transition into a non air breathing rocket for beyond Mach 4.5
However, utilizing Unified Turbine Based Combine Cycle also known as U-TBCC, the two separate platforms are able to share a common inlet and the dual mode ramjet/scramjet is contained within the engine itself, which allows for a much smaller airframe footprint, thus engingeers are able to then design much higher performance aerial platforms for hypersonic flight, including the ability for constructing true single stage to orbit aircraft by utilizing a modification/version that allows for transition to outside atmosphere propulsion without any other propulsion platforms within the aircraft. By transitioning and developing aircraft to use Unified Turbine Based Combined Cycle, this propulsion system opens up new options to replace that airframe deficit for increased fuel capacity and/or payload.
Enhanced Dynamic Cavitation
Dramatically Increasing the efficiency of fuel air mixture for combustion processes at hypersonic velocities within scramjet propulsion platforms. The aspects of these processes are non disclosable.
Dynamic Scramjet Ignition Processes
For optimal scramjet ignition, a process known as Self Start is sought after, but in many cases if the platform becomes out of attitude, the scramjet will ignite. We have already solved this problem which as a result, a scramjet propulsion system can ignite at lower velocities, high velocities, at optimal attitude or not optimal attitude. It doesn't matter, it will ignite anyways at the proper point for maximum thrust capabilities at hypersonic velocities.
Hydrogen vs Kerosene Fuel Sources
Kerosene is an easy fuel to work with, and most western nations developing scramjet platforms use Kerosene for that fact. However, while kerosene has better thermal properties then Hydrogen, Hydrogen is a far superior fuel source in scramjet propulsion flight, do it having a much higher efficiency capability. Because of this aspect, in conjunction with our developments, it allows for a MUCH increased fuel to air mixture, combustion, thrust; and ability for higher speeds; instead of very low hypersonic velocities in the Mach 5-6 range. Instead, Mach 8-10 range, while we have begun developing hypersonic capabilities to exceed 15 in atmosphere within less then 5 years.
Conforming High Pressure Tank Technology for CNG and H2.
As most know in hypersonics, Hydrogen is a superior fuel source, but due to the storage abilities, can only be stored in cylinders thus much less fuel supply. Not anymore, we developed conforming high pressure storage technology for use in aerospace, automotive sectors, maritime, etc; which means any overall shape required for 8,000+ PSI CNG or Hydrogen. For hypersonic platforms, this means the ability to store a much larger volume of hydrogen vs cylinders.
As an example, X-43 flown by Nasa which flew at Mach 9.97. The fuel source was Hydrogen, which is extremely more volatile and combustible then kerosene (JP-7), via a cylinder in the main body. If it had used our technology, that entire section of the airframe would had been an 8,000 PSI H2 tank, which would had yielded 5-6 times the capacity. While the X-43 flew 11 seconds under power at Mach 9.97, at 6 times the fuel capacity would had yielded apx 66 seconds of fuel under power at Mach 9.97. If it had flew slower, around Mach 6, same principles applied would had yielded apx 500 seconds of fuel supply under power (slower speeds required less energy to maintain).
Enhanced Fuel Mixture During Shock Train Interaction
Normally, fuel injection is conducted at the correct insertion point within the shock train for maximum burn/combustion. Our methodologies differ, since almost half the fuel injection is conducted PRE shock train within the isolator, so at the point of isolator injection the fuel enhances the combustion process, which then requires less fuel injection to reach the same level of thrust capabilities.
Improved Bow Shock Interaction
Smoother interaction at hypersonic velocities and mitigating heat/stresses for beyond Mach 6 thermodynamics, which extraordinarily improves Type 3, 4, and 5 shock interaction.
6,000+ Fahrenheit Thermal Resistance
To date, the maximum thermal resistance was tested at AFRL in the spring of 2018, which resulted in a 3,200F thermal resistance for a short duration. This technology, allows for normalized hypersonic thermal resistance of 3,000-3,500F sustained, and up to 6,500F resistance for short endurance, ie 90 seconds or less. 10-20 minute resistance estimate approximately 4,500F +/- 200F.
*** This technology advancement also applies to Aerospike rocket engines, in which it is common for Aerospike's to exceed 4,500-5,000F temperatures, which results in the melting of the reversed bell housing. That melting no longer ocurrs, providing for stable combustion to ocurr for the entire flight envelope
Scramjet Propulsion Side Wall Cooling
With old technologies, side wall cooling is required for hypersonic flight and scramjet propulsion systems, otherwise the isolator and combustion regions of a scramjet would melt, even using advanced ablatives and ceramics, due to their inability to cope with very high temperatures. Using technology we have developed for very high thermodynamics and high stresses, side wall cooling is no longer required, thus removing that variable from the design process and focusing on improved ignition processes and increasing net thrust values.
Lower Threshold for Hypersonic Ignition
Active and adaptive flight dynamics, resulting in the ability for scramjet ignition at a much lower velocity, ie within ramjet envelope, between Mach 2-4, and seamless transition from supersonic to hypersonic flight, ie supersonic ramjet (scramjet). This active and dynamic aspect, has a wide variety of parameters for many flight dynamics, velocities, and altitudes; which means platforms no longer need to be engineered for specific altitude ranges or preset velocities, but those parameters can then be selected during launch configuration and are able to adapt actively in flight.
Dramatically Improved Maneuvering Capabilities at Hypersonic Velocities
Hypersonic vehicles, like their less technologically advanced brethren, use large actuator and the developers hope those controls surfaces do not disintegrate in flight. In reality, it is like rolling the dice, they may or may not survive, hence another reason why the attempt to keep velocities to Mach 6 or below. We have shrunken down control actuators while almost doubling torque and response capabilities specifically for hypersonic dynamics and extreme stresses involved, which makes it possible for maximum input authority for Mach 10 and beyond.
Paradigm Shift in Control Surface Methodologies, Increasing Control Authority (Internal Mechanical Applications)
To date, most control surfaces for hypersonic missile platforms still use fins, similar to lower speed conventional missiles, and some using ducted fins. This is mostly due to lack of comprehension of hypersonic velocities in their own favor. Instead, the body itself incorporates those control surfaces, greatly enhancing the airframe strength, opening up more space for hardware and fuel capacity; while simultaneously enhancing the platforms maneuvering capabilities.
A scramjet missile can then fly like conventional missile platforms, and not straight and level at high altitudes, losing velocity on it's decent trajectory to target. Another added benefit to this aspect, is the ability to extend range greatly, so if anyone elses hypersonic missile platform were developed for 400 mile range, falling out of the sky due to lack of glide capabilities; our platforms can easily reach 600+ miles, with minimal glide deceleration.
When Salts Mill opened in 1853, it was the biggest factory in the world. 3000 workers toiled away at 1200 looms, producing 30,000 yards of cloth every single day.
This huge Mill was the key to Sir Titus Salt's vision to relocate all his textile mills from the city of Bradford to a healthier purpose-built site, along with a surrounding village where his workers could enjoy a good quality of life.
The first building to be constructed in Saltaire, Salts Mill was designed to manufacture textiles on a truly industrial scale. Titus Salt’s intention was to incorporate all elements of the manufacturing process under one roof, rather than each taking place at a separate location as his previous mills in Bradford required. Employing around 4000 workers, the Mill was the very heart of Saltaire.
Part of Salt’s motivation to build Saltaire was his concern over the pollution and living conditions in Bradford. To prevent Saltaire suffering the same issues, each of the chimneys was fitted with an early device to remove pollutants from smoke.
Saltaire is a Victorian model village. The Victorian era Salt's Mill and associated residential district located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Saltaire was built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname and the name of the river.

SMART MANUFACTURING AND THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Around the world, factory floors and assembly lines are becoming highly automated, combining human ingenuity with data and technology to revolutionize product and productivity outcomes. As the notion of a “factory of the future” continues to evolve, how are companies incorporating “smart” and connected products into their manufacturing process? From sensors and robots to 3D printing and green technology, global companies are experimenting with a variety of methods to streamline, scale, and sustain their business. Here in China, manufacturers have been asked to deliver on the nation’s “Made in China 2025” strategy and are aggressively pursuing their own strategies to become smarter, greener, and more efficient. As these changes take hold, what are the implications for those doing business in China and for supply chains worldwide? And how are companies redeploying and reeducating their workforces as traditional factory jobs become automated and the need for technically proficient talent increases?

Earbuds today are manufactured in many different styles and shapes to accommodate for the diverse and growing needs of the customer. More often than not however, earbuds are designed, manufactured, and sold without a case to store them, leaving them vulnerable to premature wear, knotted cords, dirt, and bacteria. The goal of this project was to design a universal case that would be used to store and protect as many varying types of earbuds from these issues. During the project additive manufacturing (3D printing) was used for rapid prototyping, which aided greatly in design progression, testing, and usability. Finally, research was done in the areas of materials selection and manufacturing processes, with the intent of having a final deliverable case design and suggested material and manufacturing process in order for the case to potentially be mass-produced.
Each skein has about 30-45 yards of silk pieces of fabric attached to each other. The silk strips are about .75 inches wide. There is some variance due to the way this yarn is created. It's created by the collection of silk remnants of clothing (mainly saris) in the truing and trimming of fabric during the manufacturing process. Then the strips are attached together to make this great yarn by sewing the ends together.
There are brocade pieces of material in this yarn so if you have any kind of allergies to metal by example I would choose another yarn! But if you have no allergies, this yarn has such cool colors and textures even if you don't knit with it, you can use it on plenty of projects and even wrapping gifts (my personal favorite).
Also, please note, that this yarn is from Nepal and I worked with women's co-ops to ensure proper and fair wages were provided to the women who made this yarn. That's important because we all need to

“Flying saucers you can live in” - advertisement from the Futuro Corporation
The Vincelette Futuro House, located in the town of Houston, Delaware, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.
Matti Suuronen, the renowned midtwentieth-century Finnish architect, achieved the house’s distinctive shape through a manufacturing process that molded plastic into the Futuro’s elegant curves. The structure’s shell consists of a central fiberglass and polyester resin layer that sandwiches a core of polyurethane foam between an outer and inner layer of polyester plastic. In the eastern United States, Futuros were manufactured in an Atlantic City, New Jersey factory, delivered by truck in sections, and assembled on-site. Concrete piers form a foundation for the metal frame that cradles the Futuro 24 inches above the ground. The building measures 26 feet in diameter and 13 feet high. The weight of the original prototype was 5511 lbs. At 500 square feet, the Futuro features a compact design that includes a central living area as well as a wedge-shaped bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The Vincelette Futuro has remained at this location since June 7, 1977.
