How Products Are Made
Today's site, the web companion of the print version published by the
Thomson Gale company, presents detailed information on the production of a
huge range of items. Gentle Subscribers will discover this to be a handy
source for material about the manufacturing processes involved in many
commodities.
"This searchable site is suited for a general audience and the descriptive
language of this reference material is easy to understand and to follow. So
go ahead we invite you to learn about How Products Are Made!" - from the
website
The site contains dozens of products in its database, from air bags to
temporary tattoos, in seven volumes, of separate A to Z listings. Each item
features historical and background information, notes on its inventor, the
materials used in its manufacture, how it works, along with clarifying
diagrams to explain its assembly. Among the fascinating details are the
facts on popcorn, revealing the specific type of corn from which this
traditional snack is made and the composition of a compact disc's
foundation layer. In addition, the biographies of a number of outstanding
inventors, such as Alan M. Turing, famous for his ground-breaking work in
artificial intelligence, are available.
