Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of plantation architecture and engineering, focusing on gin-houses and their importance in the cotton industry of the American South. The author, a mechanical engineer, argues that the poorly designed gin-houses he observed on his travels throughout the region resulted in unnecessary hardship for both animals and workers, as well as presenting a fire hazard. He provides diagrams and calculations to explain his observations and offers what he believes to be a superior and more humane design for a gin-house, which would also be safer and more efficient. The book draws on principles of physics and engineering to examine the importance of well-designed and well-built machinery in the context of the vital cotton industry, and finishes with a passionately argued section that makes the case for improvements to plantation architecture in the interests of animal welfare and the prevention of accidents.
