Reference excerpt

The R. S. Smith Motor Company Building is a historic building in Sandy, Oregon, United States, built in 1930. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History The building was named for Robert S. Smith (1886–1966), a native of Clay Center, Kansas who settled in nearby Boring, Oregon, before relocating to Sandy between 1909 and 1911. In Sandy, Smith established the Sandy Blacksmith and Horseshoeing Shop, which he operated with his brother, Melvin. The R. S. Smith Motor Building was constructed after Smith shifted from blacksmithing and entered the automobile sales business, opening a Ford Motor Company agency in 1912. The building was fashioned as an auto sales showroom and garage with a combined service station. Designed in the Mission Revival architectural style, the building, constructed in 1930, is primarily made of concrete. At the time of the building's construction, Smith was the mayor of Sandy. In addition to Ford vehicles, Smith would later sell Studebaker models in the 1960s. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with R. S. Smith Motor Company Building

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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 R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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 R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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 R. S. Smith Motor Company Building

In research: R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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 R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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: R. S. Smith Motor Company Building is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930 establishments in Oregon, Buildings and structures completed in 1930, Buildings and structures in Clackamas County, Oregon, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for R. S. Smith Motor Company Building 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.
