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.
The origin of the sweet potato is similar to that of the potato in that they are both natives of South America. The sweet potato is originally from the tropical Americas and was first domesticated there at least 5,000 years ago. They spread very quickly at this time throughout the region and even into the Caribbean.
