  • The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town Cl740-Cl820
    The Economic Development of Sheffield and the Growth of the Town cl740-cl820 Neville Flavell PhD The Division of Adult Continuing Education University of Sheffield February 1996 Volume One THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SHEFFIELD AND THE GROWTH OF THE TOWN cl740-c 1820 Neville Flavell February 1996 SUMMARY In the early eighteenth century Sheffield was a modest industrial town with an established reputation for cutlery and hardware. It was, however, far inland, off the main highway network and twenty miles from the nearest navigation. One might say that with those disadvantages its future looked distinctly unpromising. A century later, Sheffield was a maker of plated goods and silverware of international repute, was en route to world supremacy in steel, and had already become the world's greatest producer of cutlery and edge tools. How did it happen? Internal economies of scale vastly outweighed deficiencies. Skills, innovations and discoveries, entrepreneurs, investment, key local resources (water power, coal, wood and iron), and a rapidly growing labour force swelled largely by immigrants from the region were paramount. Each of these, together with external credit, improved transport and ever-widening markets, played a significant part in the town's metamorphosis. Economic and population growth were accompanied by a series of urban developments which first pushed outward the existing boundaries. Considerable infill of gardens and orchards followed, with further peripheral expansion overspilling into adjacent townships. New industrial, commercial and civic building, most of it within the central area, reinforced this second phase. A period of retrenchment coincided with the French and Napoleonic wars, before a renewed surge of construction restored the impetus.

Accordingly this volume appears as a complementary and companion volume to that on " Old Silver," and although the former describes the history and character of the silver- smiths' work from Elizabeth to Victoria, the present volume covers a much shorter period, approximately a hundred years, when the plater's skill, in what is now generally known as old Sheffield Plate, of superimposing a thin sheet of silver on a copper base, won a triumph in the great art of simulation until it was superseded by the modern electro-plating process.

    OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AIR QUALITY DIVISION MEMORANDUM October 13, 1999 TO: Dawson Lasseter, P.E., Chief Engineer, Permits Section THROUGH: Dave Dimick, P.E., Supervisor, Existing Source Permits Unit Don Whitney, P.E., Supervisor, New Source Permits Unit THROUGH: Peer Review FROM: Permit Support Unit SUBJECT: General Permit for Chromium Electroplating and Anodizing Facilities INTRODUCTION This General Permit has been developed to authorize construction and/or operation of facilities whose primary air pollutant emissions are from chromium electroplating and anodizing operations. Permits issued to these facilities must address all air emissions from all sources at these facilities. Thus, the permit is designed to include those sources typically present at chromium electroplating and anodizing facilities, including hard and decorative chromium electroplating processes, chromium anodizing processes, solvent degreasing operations, miscellaneous equipment, and fugitive sources. Facilities with other sources of air emissions that are subject to permitting requirements are not eligible for coverage under this permit. A significant portion of the industry background information in this memorandum was excerpted or developed from EPA's Profile of the Fabricated Metal Products Industry, September 1995 (Pub No. EPA-310-R-95-007), Section 12.20 (Electroplating) of AP-42 (7/96), and the Background Information Document (BID) prepared by EPA for development of the MACT standard for chromium electroplaters. Chromium electroplating and anodizing are part of the fabricated metal products industry sector. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 3471, Plating and Polishing includes any sort of metal plating and polishing facility. Although small job shops dominate the chromium plating industry, plating operations are also conducted by a variety of metal fabricating facilities (SIC Major Group 34).
