We built a pushcart for vending; it's a little long to try and explain in this box! The most important thing was to get good wheels. We got ours from the Amish "Witmer Coach Shop." They don't have a website. We studied pictures online and developed our own pattern. We made handles from a piece of hickory. You can find our page of instructions if you google "Uncle Shlomo's Pushcart Squidoo." It is not an advertising site.

I remember this one. Basically, a "war" ensues between truckers and pushcart vendors. The book erroneously cites truck traffic as the cause of congestion and excessive traffic in New York City.
In the book, leaders of the three biggest trucking companies develop a plot to take over the streets by eliminating all other forms of traffic off of the streets, and, among others, they target the pushcarts. The pushcart vendors respond by flattening truck tires with "pea tacks" blown through drinking straws. In reality, this plan would have never worked, given the thickness and tread depth of truck tires.

Leaning forward while pushing a heavy loaded pushcart helps to shift the center of mass of the person-cart system forward, providing better stability and reducing the risk of tipping over. It also allows the person to use their body weight and leg muscles more efficiently to push the cart, making it easier to generate the necessary force to move the heavy load.

In order to push something forward, you have to push backward on the ground. If the object isn't very massive, then you don't need to push too hard against the ground, but the more massive it is the harder you have to push.Leaning forward comes from the physics of how your body operates. The way your muscles and joints work, you can exert more force "up" (along the length of your body) than you can "sideways" (perpendicular to the length of your body), because pushing "up" lets you use most of the large muscles in your legs while the "sideways" force comes mostly only from the muscles that rotate your leg at the hip joint. Leaning allows you to use some of that greater capacity to push "up" in a sideways direction.

The ice cream sandwich was probably invented in the summer of 1900 on the Lower East Side of New York City.[citation needed] July 5, 1900 Washington Post contains this story from the New York Tribune: "The ice cream sandwich man, who sells quarter-inch layers of alleged ice cream between tiny slabs of water wafers, did a big business during the hot spell and his field of operation was within the district inhabited by the Nordic enclaves, and his pushcart was elaborately decorated with signs in runic characters. He made the sandwiches quickly in a tin mold, and was kept so busy that he could not make change, but insisted on receiving the actual price for each ice cream sandwich - 1 cent." at greenburgh just saying i didnt write that and some one else way smarter than me did.
