  • Suffragette City: How Did the 'Votes for Women' Campaign Affect London
    Suffragette City: How did the ‘votes for women’ campaign affect London 1906–1914? The UK campaign for women’s right to vote in parliamentary elections began in the mid-19th century. Campaigners used argument and debate to try to persuade the government. When this did not work by the beginning of the 20th century, new tactics were adopted. In 1903, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) was set up in Manchester. The WSPU aimed to adopt more militant (strong or more direct) tactics to win the vote. Their members later became known as Suffragettes. When the WSPU moved to London in 1906, the movement’s emphasis altered. From 1906–1914 the fight to win the vote became a public, and sometimes violent struggle that was very visible on the streets of the capital. Why did the campaign move to London in 1906? Moving the campaign to the streets of London made the WSPU more visible. It also meant they could hold major events that attracted lots of people and publicity. This paper napkin is printed with a programme for Women’s Sunday on 21 June 1908. This was the first big event organised by the WSPU. The centre of the napkin shows the route of the seven marches through London meeting in Hyde Park. Around the centre are portraits of the main speakers and the Suffragette leaders. Souvenir paper table napkin Napkins like this were produced for all large public events from Women’s Sunday, 1908 in London from the early- to mid-20th century. They would have been sold for about one penny by street traders lining the route of the event.

    SUFFRAGE IN A BOX: ITEM CAPTIONS TEACHERS GUIDE 1 1 The Polling Station. (Publisher: Suffrage Atelier). 1 Suffrage campaigners were experts in creating powerful propaganda images which expressed their sense of injustice. This image shows the whole range of women being kept out of the polling station by the law and authority represented by the policeman. These include musicians, clerical workers, mothers, university graduates, nurses, mayors, and artists. The men include gentlemen, manual workers, and agricultural labourers. This hints at the class hierarchies and tensions which were so important in British society at this time, and which also influenced the suffrage movement. All the women are represented as gracious and dignified, in contrast to the men, who are slouching and casual. This image was produced by the Suffrage Atelier, which brought together artists to create pictures which could be quickly and easily reproduced. ©Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford: John Johnson Collection; Postcards 12 (385) Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford John Johnson Collection; Postcards 12 (385) 2 The late Miss E.W. Davison (1913). Emily Wilding Davison is best known as the suffragette who 2 died after being trampled by the King’s horse on Derby Day, but as this photo shows, there was much more to her story. She studied at Royal Holloway College in London and St Hugh’s College Oxford, but left her job as a teacher to become a full- time suffragette. She was one of the most committed militants, who famously hid in a cupboard in the House of Commons on census night, 1911, so that she could give this as her address, and was the first woman to begin setting fire to post boxes.

  • Cast in Steel 2020 Bowie Knife Competition Pittsburg State University Michael Paddock Logan Roseberry Professor Dr
    Cast in Steel 2020 Bowie Knife Competition Pittsburg State University Michael Paddock Logan Roseberry Professor Dr. Russel Rosmait Summer of 2020 The Knife Design and Manufacturing Process: Abstract: The knife design concept was started in early 2020. We wanted a big d-guarded bowie knife with a destructive pommel. For the alloy we wanted a stainless steel so it could avoid oxidation and stay shiny. For the handle we wanted to keep it simple and fit the contour of the steel tang. We also wanted more than one knife, many more... so we decided to design a process to make more than one. A small manufacturing run of around 15 was planned. Casting Process: For the casting process we chose investment casting. This process was chose over sand and other alternatives for its ability to produce thin wall and tight tolerance castings and its ability to cast essentially any alloy. A plan was made to manufacture an aluminum wax tool for the knife as well as a supplemental rubber mold for a decorative pommel. These tools would be used to produce wax knives and wax pommels. We wanted to stick to wax because 3d prints can be troublesome to burn out and we wanted wax surface finishes on our castings. Alloy Selection: The alloy decided for the knife casting was CA6NM stainless steel. This alloy was suggested by my friend, metallurgist Dr. Roger Lumley for its excellent mechanical properties as well as its corrosion resistance. Below are its chemical composition and mechanical properties of the alloy. The pommel was decided to be cast from aluminum bronze alloy because of its very high corrosion resistance and its hardness when compared to other copper alloys and non-ferrous alloys.
