Tree-Covered Land-Forms For Noise Control, David I. Cook, David F. Haverbeke
Tree-Covered Land-Forms For Noise Control, David I. Cook, David F. Haverbeke
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The objective of this study was to determine means for controlling intrusive noise by combining trees and shrubs with land-forms or other solid barriers. The solid barriers would provide some immediate relief, and the plant materials would increase the protection as they matured.
Portable Electric Home Milk Pasteurizers, A. E. Baragar, P. A. Downs
Portable Electric Home Milk Pasteurizers, A. E. Baragar, P. A. Downs
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Two batch-type and one in-the-bottle type home milk pasteurizers were investigated to determine whether they comply with U.S. Public Health code temperature and time requirements for pasteurizers.
An Analysis Of Pressure Gasoline And Pressure Kerosene Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
An Analysis Of Pressure Gasoline And Pressure Kerosene Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
During the past few years inquiries have been received regarding the cost of operation, efficiency, and performance of pressure gasoline and pressure kerosene stoves. Because of the method of operation and the use of gasoline as fuel, safety from fire and carbon monoxide has been frequently questioned. Not only is it necessary to have technical information about this type of appliance in order to compare it with other types but it is further important to know whether one type of burner is superior to another; whether one type of oven construction will give better results than another and in general …
Further Studies Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
Further Studies Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This bulletin is a supplement to Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station Research Bulletin 86. Tests were conducted in the same manner as were those described in Bulletin 86; hence, no reference has been made to experimental methods unless a test has not been previously reported. This paper is primarily concerned with (1) a discussion of cooking tops producing excessive carbon-monoxide gas, (2) more data relative to cooking-top burner efficiencies, (3) a further discussion of automatic lighters, and (4) a detailed study of ovens.
The Accuracy Of Pressure Gauges Used On Household Steam Pressure Cookers, Arnold E. Baragar
The Accuracy Of Pressure Gauges Used On Household Steam Pressure Cookers, Arnold E. Baragar
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
In the pressure cooker, high temperature is obtained by using steam under pressure. Since the pressure gauge is used as the indicator of temperature it is essential that the gauge register the correct pressure. Hence, this paper deals mainly with a study of the accuracy of both new and old pressure gauges used on steam pressure cookers. At the same time, four other phases were investigated: (1) the proper functioning of safety valves, (2) the various methods of sealing the lid to the cooker, (3) the proper evacuation of air from the cooker, and (4) the use of a thermometer …
A Study Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
A Study Of Selected Types Of Domestic Gas Stoves, Arnold E. Baragar
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
During recent years several detailed investigations have been made concerning the proper design of domestic gas burners but there seems to be a need for information as to the performance of the burner when used in the modern gas range. Fortunately gas equipment must pass a set of exacting tests performed in the American Gas Association Testing Laboratory before being placed on the market as approved equipment, but as is emphasized in the preface of the A. G. A. "Approval Requirements for Gas Ranges" these are a set of minimum requirements. To the general public the great need is a …
A Study Of Five Commercial Electric Stoves, A. E. Baragar, Edna B. Snyder
A Study Of Five Commercial Electric Stoves, A. E. Baragar, Edna B. Snyder
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
Five commercial electric stoves having major variations in types of surface units, in the construction, lining, and insulation of the oven, and in the retail price were studied to determine (1) the efficiency and time of heating of the various surface units, and (2) the merits of differently constructed ovens.
Factors Affecting The Performance Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
Factors Affecting The Performance Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this investigation was to learn the effect of constructional details of the burner and the framework on the performance of kerosene stoves. Six stoves were used, four of the long-chimney type and two of the short-chimney type. Of the long-chimney burners, three were from the same manufacturer; the fourth was similar in appearance, but differed in performance. Of the short chimneys one burner used a wick, the other a lighting ring. The effect of: (1) draft variations and constructional details and (2) the framework on the heating time and thermal efficiency of stoves was studied.
A Study Of Washing Machines, Edna B. Snyder, Morton P. Brunig
A Study Of Washing Machines, Edna B. Snyder, Morton P. Brunig
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this investigation was to study the performance and constructional features of various types of washing machines. The machines studied were of four types, classified on the basis of mechanical construction. The types were dolly, gyrator, cylinder, and vacuum. Eight machines were studied, four of the gyrator type, two of the dolly type, one of the cylinder type, and one of the vacuum type. The material reported in this bulletin includes the following: (1) cleansing action of various washing machines and relation of cleanness of fabric to length of washing period, temperature of water, and size of load; …
A Study Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
A Study Of Kerosene Cook Stoves, Edna B. Snyder
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The purpose of this study was to learn the advantages and disadvantages of various types of kerosene cook stoves used in Nebraska. Kerosene cook stoves have burners of four types. Ten stoves representing the four types were studied as follows: four stoves having long-chimney wick burners; three stoves having short-chimney wick burners; two stoves having short chimneys with asbestos kindlers or lighting rings; one stove having wickless burners. To determine comparative performance of the four types of burners, they were tested for: (1) time required to heat a known quantity of water through a known range of temperature; (2) thermal …
