The Manufacturing-Industries Map of New York in 1919 @mfgday #MFGDay17
Fun post from CityLab on the state of manufacturing in NYC in 1919.
A quick scan indicates much of 1919 New York was involved in the production of women’s wear. This market involved 8,091 factories (the most out of all the industries), employed 169,965 people, and had a yearly product value of $1.7 billion.
The Upper East Side, Midtown East, and Williamsburg had a role in “food products and tobacco”—coffee, chewing gum, pickles, poultry, cigarettes, snuff, and other toothsome items. Clinton Hill/Bedford-Stuyvesant was big on leather goods like boots, trunks, and harnesses, while neighborhoods along the riverside in Brooklyn and Queens were hubs of metal-working, churning out tin and sheet iron, calculating machines and cash registers, pins and hooks, nuts, washers, stoves, and shipbuilding doodads.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
