This may be helpful: "The last economic revolution of similar magnitude took place between 1870 and 1917. At that time, the development of continuous process machinery enabled the production of high volume standardized products. This was coupled with newly constructed railroads that allowed for mass distribution of those products, and the telegraph, which provided for instantaneous communication." http://www.manufacturingnews.com/news/00/1013/art1.html "Continuous (process) Production ? This technology is controlled by the manufacturing process itself and requires little worker involvement. For example, oil refining intakes continuous crude oil for transformation into petroleum products." http://www.mgmtguru.com/mgt499/TN7.htm?%23top "An important American development was continuous-process manufacturing. In continuous-process manufacturing, large quantities of the same product, such as cigarettes or canned food, are made in a nonstop operation. The process runs continuously, except for repairs to or maintenance of the machinery used. In the late 18th century, inventor Oliver Evans of Delaware created a remarkable water-powered flour mill. In Evans?s mill, machinery elevated the grain to the top of the mill and then moved it mechanically through various processing steps, eventually producing flour at the bottom of the mill. The process greatly reduced the need for manual labor and cut milling costs dramatically. Mills modeled after Evans?s were built along the Delaware and Brandywine rivers and Chesapeake Bay, and by the time of the American Revolution (1775-1783) they were arguably the most productive in the world. Similar milling technology was also used to grind snuff and other tobacco products in the same region. As the 19th century passed, Americans improved continuous-process technology and expanded its use." http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761577952_2/Industrial_Revolution.html |
