McCord-Brady Company

McCord-Brady Company is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand McCord-Brady Company rather than just read about it. In short: The McCord-Brady Company, at 1506 Thomes Ave. in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was built in 1914–15. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Key takeaways

McCord-Brady Company belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect McCord-Brady Company to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of McCord-Brady Company from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The McCord-Brady Company, at 1506 Thomes Ave. in Cheyenne, Wyoming, was built in 1914–15. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It has also been known as Asher-Wyoming Company Wholesale Grocers and as Cheyenne Winlectric Company. It is a flat-roofed two-story dark red brick warehouse building, 88 by 120 feet (27 m × 37 m) in plan. It has a one-story, wood-frame, shed-roofed 49 by 13 feet (14.9 m × 4.0 m) addition from 1966 and a one-story, wood-frame gable-roofed 41 by 15 feet (12.5 m × 4.6 m) addition from 1989.

It was deemed notable because it represents the early twentieth-century commercial activity in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Cheyenne had its origins as a railroad town created in 1867 by the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, making it an important transportation center from its inception. Therefore, its commercial history was inextricably tied to the railroad. The building at 1506 Thomes Avenue was constructed in ca. 1914-15 and was provided with its own railroad siding on the south side, which has been removed. The Colorado and Southern Railroad laid tracks along the north side of the building; these have also been removed. However, the Union Pacific Railroad freight yards are located directly south of West Fifteenth Street, so that the building retains its physical association with the railroad. The building is a well- preserved example of early twentieth-century factory/warehouse architecture and served as a wholesale grocery warehouse from the time it was built until 1974.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with McCord-Brady Company

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what McCord-Brady Company claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to McCord-Brady Company before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about McCord-Brady Company ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of McCord-Brady Company

In research: McCord-Brady Company appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses McCord-Brady Company in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: McCord-Brady Company is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1914, National Register of Historic Places in Laramie County, Wyoming, Warehouses in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for McCord-Brady Company outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
