... shirt and dresses using a needle and thread. But in 1866 Elias Howe changed all that he came up with another way to make clothes. Elias Howe patented the first practical sewing machine this sewing machine make the industry come back on his original invention made it possible for man production of clothing on a much larger scale that ever been possible with hand stitching. The impact of the sewing machine on the economy is huge. Specifically the sewing machine greatly impacted the textile industry and women. Because women were the ones working in the textile mills they were the ones to use the machine, however some believed that this would infringe on their craft as skilled seamstresses. Others thought this to be a wonder and felt it freed them to pursue other things rather than sit home and sew clothes. In some way the women working with the machines gained a new skill, and were seen as important for the industry. The sewing machine allowed clothing to become a mass produced item which increased the social acceptance of the sewing machine. Besides the commercial sewing machine, the household machine became very popular when it became electric. If you had electric in your home you could have a sewing machine and it was even easier and faster than the hand powered models. The sewing machine also helped other industries grow, for example the need for large quantities of thread for factory machines. Others benefited from sewing machines such as metal companies for needles and...

...including time of Upper Paleolithic Age, Neolithic time, the Middle Ages, the industrial revolution and today, will be discussed. Weaving is the interlacing of two lines of thread, which is known as warp and weft, on a loom at right angles to each other. The warp is the set of vertical thread while the weft means the set of horizontal threads. One warp thread is known as an end. One weft thread is known as a pick. Weaving can be done by hands or machines, which is called as looms. Looms were made by wooden frame and is now made by electronic weaving machine. Although there were different electronic weaving machine, hand weaving is still in practice at the moment. Upper Paleolithic age In the Upper Paleolithic age, the first string was developed by the early man. Handfuls of plant fibers were twisted together. It developed to produce a fine string or thread. This finding leads to the first woven textiles, which varieties sizes of threads and strings knotted and laced together to produce useful items, and opens the era of weaving, spinning and sewing. It was first used to produce interlace branches and twigs. Neolithic times Weaving loom was developed from Neolithic times, which is about 12000 years ago. By using man made tools, the vertical warp threads were hold and insert the horizontal weft threads to make simple weaving. Horizontal, ground loom and warp weighted loom were used as the early weaving looms. The warp weighted loom is made by tying large wooden poles...

...and his parent's move to Port Huron, Michigan for better fortune. (“Biography of Thomas Edison ”). 1854, Edison started school, he was to poor to finish, so his mother took him out and home schooled him. In 1859, young Edison took on a job selling newspaper and candy on the Grand Trunk Railroad to Detroit. At the age of twelve, Edison lost almost all his hearing. People started blaming the conductor for the accident. (“Biography”) Thomas A. Edison was-known for being a hero in 1862 for saving a three-year-old from a boxcar. For helping the young child, J.U. Mackenzie, taught Edison railroad telegraphy as a reward. (“Edison” 78), That winter, he took a job as a telegraph operator in Port Huron. 1868 Thomas moved to Boston , where he worked in the Western Union office as a telegraph operator. In the middle of 1869, Edison moved to New York City. Edison did not have a place to stay so one of his close friends, Franklin L. Pope, allowed Edison to sleep in a room at Samuel Law's Gold Jackson 2 Indicator Company where he was employed. Later that year Edison, Franklin L. Pope, and James Ashley started an organization called The “Pope and Edison Company.” During that time Edison was getting improvements on the telegraph. Also Edison established the Newark Telegraph Works in Newark, New Jersey with William Unger to manufacture stock...

...for workers in factories. Unfair, unhealthy working conditions, child and women labor were main and rifle problems that workers and government try to take many actions to correct. The first is the general situation of Industrial Revolution in America, the beginning of factory system, where workers and machinery together in one place to produce goods. Industrial revolution reached America by 1800s and boomed after the civil war (1861-1865). During the revolution, the United States was transformed from an agricultural to industrial society, from hand and home production to machine and factory. Many inventions were created that revolutionized and helped in forming modern America. They include cotton gin, light bulb, telegraph, sugar evaporation system, steam engine, sewing machine… These inventions have influenced the community by giving it a form of faster production and transportation. Besides, transportation expanded. Many new methods of transportation were arisen such as steamboat, canal, especially railroads. The manufacturing of steel, iron, machinery, petroleum fueled economic growth. Urban development occurred during industrial revolution. During the Industrial Revolution, many people left farms to work in factories. Throughout the late 1800s, industrialization fueled the need for more labor. A wave of immigration from Europe and Asia to the United States arose. The whole economy developed dramatically, which attract the huge immigrant from other continents. The supply of...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Motivation is very important for the managers & officers to know and understand why people behave differently at workplace and how to manipulate their behavior so that they exert their best efforts to achieve organizational goals. It is the goal of managers at every strategy to have employees motivated so that work can progress at desired rate, pace & time. Many managers in this sub-sector do not try to grasp grandiose amount of work, such as compliance of labor laws, conducting the so-called social audits, compliance of code of conduct etc. now being conducted are aimed at employee motivation. Improvement of workplace, enhancement of working conditions is not the goals themselves. The goal of these activities is increasing productivity by way of lending job satisfaction at workplace & improving the life style & living condition of the working people. Once the employees are hired, trained and remunerated they need to be motivated for better performance. A basic principle is that the performance of an individual depends on his or her ability backed by motivation. Stated algebraically the principle is Performance = (ability X motivation). Ability refers to the skill and competence of the person to complete a given task. However as we see ability alone is not enough. Motivation in simple terms may be understood as the set of forces that cause people to behave in certain ways [1]. The Institute...

Bibliography………………………………………… 44 3 I. General Concept 1. The First Industrial Revolution Between 1760 and 1830 the Industrial Revolution was mainly confined to Britain. Being aware of its head start on other countries, Britain forbade the export of machinery, skilled workers and manufacturing techniques. This could not last, as many Britons saw profitable industrial opportunities abroad and continental European businessmen were keen to lure British know-how to their countries. Belgium became the first country in continental Europe to be transformed economically, having machine shops set up in Liège (c.1807) by two Englishmen, William and John Cockerill. Like Britain, the Belgian Industrial Revolution centred on iron, coal and textiles. The industrialization of France was slower and less thorough than that of Britain and Belgium. At the time that Britain was establishing her industrial leadership, France was immersed...

...taught reading, writing, and arithmetic by his mother, but was always a very curious child and taught himself much by reading on his own. This belief in self-improvement remained throughout his life. He forebears lived in New Jersey until their loyalty to the British crown during the American Revolution drove them to Nova Scotia, Canada. From there, later generations relocated to Ontario and fought the Americans in the War of 1812. Edison's mother, Nancy Elliott, was originally from New York until her family moved to Vienna, Canada, where she met Sam Edison, Jr., whom she later married. When Sam became involved in an unsuccessful insurrection in Ontario in the 1830s, he was forced to flee to the United States and in 1839 they made their home in Milan, Ohio. He was born to Sam and Nancy on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. Known as "Al" in his youth, Edison was the youngest of seven children, four of whom survived to adulthood. Edison tended to be in poor health when young. To seek a better fortune, Sam Edison moved the family to Port Huron, Michigan, in 1854, where he worked in the lumber business. Edison was a poor student. When a schoolmaster called Edison "addled," or slow. his furious mother took him out of the school and proceeded to teach him at home. Edison said many years later, "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me, and I felt I had some one to live for, some one I must not disappoint." At an early age, he showed a fascination for mechanical...

And above all to our Almighty God a million thanks for the strength, knowledge, good health, wisdom and the guidance that enlightened our hearts and minds that this study would be possible. INTRODUCTION Ice manufacturing has started in early this century. Prior to these factories ice was imported from the mountains, at a very high financial cost, and did not last too long due to temperature. But these new factories started producing three to four tons of ice per day. This was enough to support the population more so than ever before. Ice was preserved over the warm summer months by packing the ice in saw dust for insulation. Instantly the ice business became big business. Many entrepreneurs started investing money in formulating mechanical refrigeration at an economical cost. Interest in ice making equipment was at full force in the early twentieth century. Uncertainty of supplies, great fluctuations in price and sanitation standards made natural ice obsolete to the artificial product. Ice making equipment and refrigeration processes spread throughout the country. Ice making equipment became crucial for long distance shipments of perishables. Ice preservation in the home, though, was still not up to par...
