Category 3 Requirements:

As the Industrial Revolution spread to the
United States, plants such as this textile factory appeared. Soon the production
of exports outpaced import of goods, and by the late 1800s America emerged as
the world's largest industrial power.
31-33 Manufacturing

In 1926, Liberia leased one
million acres of land to Firestone Rubber Corporation, but during the next 50
years ignored the need to develop manufacture of rubber products.
A worker is treating rubber
with chemicals as it is being rolled. In its crude state, rubber is weak and
vulnerable to environmental conditions such as temperature and sunlight.
In order to produce useful
products, rubber must be treated with compounding agents and heat to improve its
strength and resiliency.
311 Food Manufacturing

One of the world's largest
processed food companies, H. J. Heinz Company grew out of a small horseradish
business founded in 1869.
The company's founder, Henry Heinz, believed strongly
in the power of advertising and coined the slogan "57 Varieties".
This
advertisement appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, on November 23, 1935.

3112 Grain and Oilseed Milling

Grains, the seeds produced
from a number of cereal grasses, are among the most important food crops in the
world. Cooked or ground and processed into flours, oils, and other substances,
they are an excellent source of energy for both humans and livestock. Beer and
other alcoholic beverages are made from fermented grains.

Division of labor is a
basic tenet of industrialization. In division of labor, each worker is assigned
to a different task, or step, in the manufacturing process, and as a result,
total production increases. As this illustration shows, one person performing
all five steps in the manufacture of a product can make one unit in a day. Five
workers, each specializing in one of the five steps, can make 10 units in the
same amount of time.

Robots weld parts of an
automobile together on an automated production line in Fenton, Missouri. Robots
are faster and less prone to errors than human workers; as computer and robot
technology has become more advanced, robots are increasingly able to perform
more complicated tasks.

During the Industrial
Revolution, children were employed in factories and worked long hours. This
photo by noted American photographer Lewis Hine shows young boys working at a
spinning machine. Hine's photographs led to the passing of the first child-labor

production has changed as a result of industrialization. In this modern textile

fabric. The process is almost entirely coordinated and controlled by computer,
with a small staff of managers, inspectors, and technicians to ensure quality
and efficiency.

Introduced by Richard Arkwright in 1769,
the flyer spinning frame (also called the throstle or roll-drawing machine)
reflects the move toward automation that characterized the Industrial
Revolution. The machine is powered by the drive wheel at the bottom, drawing out
the fiber into thread, then twisting it as it is wound onto the bobbins.

Assorted, colorful plastic
items line a market stall in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay). Plastics,
synthetic resins made of large organic chains, or polymers, are extremely
durable and lightweight. Petroleum is refined to produce single organic
molecules, called monomers, that are then combined to form resinous polymers.
These polymers are molded or extruded to make plastic articles.

331 Primary Metal Manufacturing

In order to convert molten
pig iron (crude iron) into steel with a Bessemer furnace, air must be blown
through it to burn away impurities. This engraving of a steel factory
illustrates the process developed by Sir Henry Bessemer in 1855 and used until
the 1950s.
3311 Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy

In order to turn crude iron
ore into usable pig iron, its impurities must be removed. A blast furnace
accomplishes this by forcing extremely hot air through a mixture of ore, coke,
and limestone, called the charge. Carts called skips dump the charge into the
top of the furnace, where it filters down through bell-shaped containers called
hoppers. Once in the furnace, the charge is subjected to air blasts that may be
as hot as 870° C (1600° F). (The furnace must be lined with a layer of
firebrick, called the refractory, in order to sustain these temperatures.)
Melted metal collects in the bottom of the furnace. The waste metal, called
slag, floats on top of the molten pig iron. Both of these substances are
drained, or tapped, periodically for further processing.

3336 Engine, Turbine, and Power

Harnessing the power of
steam marked a significant step in technology. The introduction of the steam
engine led to many new inventions, most notably in transportation and industry.
Steam engines transfer the energy of heat into mechanical energy, often by
allowing steam to expand in a cylinder equipped with a movable piston. As the
piston moves up and down (or alternatively, from side to side), an attached arm
converts this motion into parallel motion that drives a wheel. Models of the
steam engine were designed as early as 1690, but it was not until 70 years later
that James Watt arrived at the design of the modern steam engine.

Agriculture once dominated
the South Korean economy, but export-oriented manufacturing has transformed the
country from one of the world's poorest into an industrial power. About
one-third of South Korea's labor force is now involved in industry, as are these
workers at a tele-electric company.

In its final stage of
design, an integrated circuit wafer is tested by probes. Each gold square in the
wafer is an individual integrated circuit. At one time, circuits consisted of
separate electronic devices (such as inductors and capacitors) mounted on a
chassis and strung together with wire. These circuits were easy to manipulate by
hand, but they were extremely bulky. In contrast, integrated circuits
incorporate all of the separate electronic components on a single board.

Two workers mount an engine
into the chassis of a Ford Model T that was put together at earlier points on
the assembly line.

The introduction of the
assembly line revolutionized the automotive industry. The Ford Company began
using the innovation in 1913 and rapidly increased production. With the assembly
line, more cars could be produced faster and more cheaply, so automobiles became
more accessible to consumers. Here, workers install a door at the Ford Motor
Company's modern assembly plant in Ohio.

A pumper truck in
Santiago, Chile, draws water from a nearby hydrant. The pumper truck does carry
a limited supply of water inside, but its primary function is to increase the
pressure of the water from the municipal hydrant. Its powerful inner pump forces
the water down long lengths of hose and on to the flames.
