Toward a Recovery of Nineteenth Century Farming Handbooks While researching texts written about nineteenth century farming, I found a few authors who published books about the literature of nineteenth century farming, particularly agricultural journals, newspapers, pamphlets, and brochures. These authors often placed the farming literature they were studying into an historical context by discussing the important events in agriculture of the year in which the literature was published (see Demaree, for example). However, while these authors discuss journals, newspapers, pamphlets, and brochures, I could not find much discussion about another important source of farming knowledge: farming handbooks. My goal in this paper is to bring this source into the agricultural literature discussion by connecting three agricultural handbooks from the nineteenth century with nineteenth century agricultural history.

Sakib Farooqui [email protected] du Ian Patterson [email protected] NUMBER OF COMPONENTS: 50 Max Fleischer ([email protected]) Define the context and design details of your engineering structure / product: (Do some research on why this product/structure is needed, who is going to use it (place and context). Are there any efforts going on or solutions exists to currently at address this issue (for example ikea is currently working on effective housing for refugees). what is new? Briefly explain your design and functionalities (system and sub-system). How your design is different from existing products. What sustainability (Social, Environmental and Economical) factors influencing your design? Solar Blinds Components of Design: The solar Blinds includes the blinds themselves, the battery and the structure that holds them up, manual folding mechanism, automatic folding mechanism, sensor mechanism for the automatic folding mechanism. Purpose/functionalities: Every household, apartment, and business have blinds to dictate how much sunlight is allowed in the room. Because of this, solar blinds are a perfect addition to all establishments and buildings. Sunlight always hits the blinds, so why not make the sunlight useful by making power consumption greener. To this day, fossil fuels are still the number one source of energy for most of the world. It contributes to many systemic issue in the modern world, such as poor air quality and climate change to name a few.
Currently, solar panel fields, wind turbines, and water turbines are the leading solutions to establishing renewable energy, and solar blinds will add to this list of contributing factors. Solar blinds operate like every day blinds, except ours can generate energy that can be used. They can also automatically and manually close, open, and collapse like usual blinds. Additionally, they have built in batteries to store energy for overnight usage. How is our product different from similar products: Instead of a huge field of solar panels that take up lots of land and space, solar blinds will be in spaces that are already occupied by people. Also, the power source doesn’t need long lines of cables and wires to deliver energy to those in need. In terms of other solar panel blinds, ours deliver electric back to the community if the power they generate isn’t being used. My product is Sustainable because (check all items that apply). *The need for the product/structure is identified contextually – involving negotiations between engineering and non-engineering (community, social workers etc..) *During ideation and design, additional conditions (specifications and constraints) are identified meeting community needs (who benefits and who suffers) *We identified forms of political agency of users, and key actors to mobilize available sources of power to enact a more socially justifiable engineering product/structure.
