Reference excerpt

Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture is an 1896 United States two-dollar silver certificate. It is of the large-size variety measuring 7.375 in (187.3 mm) inches by 3.125 in (79.4 mm). It is one of three notes released as the "Educational Series". After complaints about the series, the note was replaced in 1899.

Description

American painter Edwin Blashfield designed the 1896 two-dollar note. The mural on the obverse features Science presenting Steam and Electricity. Science is seen behind two boys in the vignette. The figures of Steam and Electricity are represented by the children and Commerce and Manufacture are portrayed by the two adults. The reverse of the note features portraits of inventors Robert Fulton and Samuel Morse. The note is of the US large size variety at 7.375 in (187.3 mm) inches by 3.125 in (79.4 mm). The currency notes in use today in the United States is 6.14 in (156 mm) by 2.61 in (66 mm).

History

Blashfield's design for the obverse was originally slated for the fifty-dollar bill. The theme of steam and electricity are represented as children because they were new forms of power. The engravers who executed the design were G.F.C. Smillie and Charles Schlecht. There were three notes in the Educational Series and all women appeared on all three notes in the series: the $1, $2, and $5. The reverse of the note was designed by Thomas Morris. The two portraits of Samuel Morse and Robert Fulton were engraved by Lorenzo Hatch.

Controversy The notes came to be called "dirty dollars" because of the portrayal of unclothed women. Because of the controversy engravers reissued the note in 1897 with more clothing on the women. Some complaints also centered on the skin color of the women on the note. Bank tellers also objected to the nudity displayed on the note. The notes also did not have complicated lathework on the front so counterfeiters could forge the note more easily. The controversies caused the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to replace the note just three years after issue, in 1899.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture 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 Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture 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 Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture

In research: Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture appears in science 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 Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture 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: Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Currencies introduced in 1896, Paper money of the United States, Silver, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Science presenting steam and electricity to Commerce and Manufacture 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.
