- John dalton, a chemist, helped us to understand being color blind
- he conducted an experiment with silk thread to see what colors appeared as 
- he used everyday objects as reference points
-because of dalton, we know a lot more about colors and being color blind
-he gave his first account of his color vision to the Manchester literary and philosophical society in 1794]]> 2022-12-22 13:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabethwelsh2/zsqy1oi21jbz2b7c/wish/2427462376 Bad Smoke during Industrial Revolution -Lucas Apen https://padlet.com/elizabethwelsh2/zsqy1oi21jbz2b7c/wish/2427466870
  • Industrialization in the 19th century had world-changing effects.
  • It brought millions and millions of people to Manchester to work in these factories. 
  • At the peak of Manchesters cotton industry, coal powered steam engines drove the city’s towering cotton mills, filling the air with noxious, sooty coal smoke.
  • The workers and residents suffered a lot from this smoke making them have diseases and dirty homes.
  • The urban air pollution was known as “the smoke nuisance.”
  • By the mid 1840s, there were about 500 smoking industrial chimneys on Manchesters skyline.
  • At the heart of Manchester's urban air pollution problem was the practice of burning coal, a fossil fuel

    -So called ‘ragged’ schools like Charter Street in Angel Meadow, by the middle of the 19th century one of Manchester’s worst slum districts, provided food, clothing and basic education to Manchester’s poorest people.

    The constant burning of coal released dangerous pollutants into the air. People back then didn’t know the long term environmental effects of the coal burning, but the health effects of the smoke became clear very early on. By the md 1840’s, there were about 500 smoking industrial chimneys on Manchester’s skyline. Despite the dreadful living conditions in Manchester, it is associated with a thriving economy. Coal was the heart of the pollution problem in Manchester, as burning coal created a black smoke that filled the air, and it killed many people with it

    .This invention was called “The Jacquard loom,” was built by inventor Jacques de Vacanson.

    .The invention made it possible for complex and detailed patterns to be made, by unskilled workers in lesser time it took a master weaver and his assistant working manually.

    .The effect of this machine caused “the cost of fashionable, high sought after patterned cloth to decrease.”

    .It could also now be mass produced, cause if to be more affordable to a wide market of consumers.

    .The most important variable to the success of Jacquard’s invention was the use of interchangeable cards, were tiny holes were punched. These holes were the instructions for weaving a pattern.

    .When placed into the machine, the cards directed which warp threads to be raised, to allow the weft thread to pass under them. With these punch cards Jacquard looms could reproduce any pattern, a designer made.
