Reference excerpt

The Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm is a historic farmstead at 309 Cramm Road in Parsonsfield, Maine. Its buildings dating to 1844, it is a fine example of a well-preserved mid-19th century farmstead, with modifications in the 20th century to adapt the barn to chicken farming. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

Description and history The Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm is a 26-acre (11 ha) rural agricultural property in southeastern Parsonsfield. The property consists of parcels of land on the north and south sides of Cramm Road, just east of its junction with Fenderson Road. Much of the property is wooded, some of that formerly agricultural land that has returned to forestation. The farmstead stands on the north side of Cramm Road, with three buildings arranged in a U shape around a central drive. The house, on the west side, is a 1-1/2 story Cape style wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and central front cross gable, with a 1-1/2 story ell extending to the rear to join to an attached carriage barn. The house has Greek Revival styling, its entrance flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by an entablature with cornice. At the top of the U stands the main barn, a large two-story bank barn with the gable oriented east-west. Its main entrance is on the west side, with a large sliding door topped by a two-tier transom window and a gabled Greek Revival entablature. Originally built to house large animals in stalls flanking a central drive, it has been converted into a chicken barn, with the loft space floored over for a usable third-floor space. The east side of the U has a rectangular structure now used as an equipment shed. The buildings of the farmstead were built in 1844 by John Merrill, a local builder, for Enoch Parson (a descendant of Thomas Parson for whom the town is named) at the time of his daughter Hannah's marriage to Dan Piper. The Pipers and Parsons shared ownership of the entire farm property (which was originally about 1,000 acres (400 ha)). A later Parson descendant married into the Lord family, and were the last of that family line to own the property, which was sold in 1948 by their heirs to the Roy family. The Roys were responsible for the conversion of the farm to a chicken-raising operation.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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 Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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 Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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 Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm

In research: Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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 Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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: Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1844, Buildings and structures in York County, Maine, Farms on the National Register of Historic Places in Maine, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Parsons–Piper–Lord–Roy Farm 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.
