The overall aim of this research is to explore the impact of design parameters to. material flow efficiency in terms of space and time (labor or person-hours) utilization. Central to this research is the need to answer the question, what are the key design.
Salt potatoes originated in Syracuse and once comprised the bulk of a salt worker's daily diet. During the 1800s, Irish salt miners would bring a bag of small, unpeeled, substandard potatoes to work each day. Come lunch time, they boiled the potatoes in the free-flowing salt brine.
NOTE: Although potatoes were called âpotatoes of the Virginiaâ by early English botanists, they were in fact from South America, not the state of Virginia in the United States. The potato was carried on to Italy and England about 1585, to Belgium and Germany by 1587, to Austria about 1588, and to France around 1600.
