Kommissbrot
Kommissbrot, formerly Kommißbrot, is a dark type of German bread, baked from rye and other flours, historically used for military provisions. Description Kommissbrot is a dark bread made from rye and wheat flours as a sourdough. It has a firm but not hard crust, and because it is normally baked in a loaf pan, it develops a crust only on the top. It is noted for its long shelf life. History Since the 16th century, ''Kommiß'' has been used as a word for a military troop, and so ''Kommißbrot'' was used to mean the bread provided for the military, since ''Brot'' is the German word for bread, and it came to be used to denote the type of bread. The nutritional value of kommissbrot was studied by Prausnitz in 1893 and by Wenceslaus Plagge and Georg Lebbin in 1897. It was used as military provisions in World War I, when sawdust was sometimes added to compensate for shortages of flour, and in World War II. A study by M. Gerson in 1941 concluded that kommissbrot covered the daily re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steam Waggon
A steam wagon (or steam lorry, steam waggon or steamtruck) is a steam-powered truck for carrying freight. It was the earliest form of lorry (truck) and came in two basic forms: ''overtype'' and ''undertype'', the distinction being the position of the engine relative to the boiler. Manufacturers tended to concentrate on one form or the other. Steam wagons were a widespread form of powered road traction for commercial haulage in the early part of the twentieth century, although they were a largely British phenomenon, with few manufacturers outside Great Britain. Competition from internal-combustion-powered vehicles and adverse legislation meant that few remained in commercial use beyond the Second World War. Although the majority of steam wagons have been scrapped, a significant number have been preserved in working order and may be seen in operation at steam fairs, particularly in the UK. Design features The steam wagon came in two basic forms. The ''overtype'' designs looked li ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
