Secondly there was a need for stronger iron so boilers could create and withstand the pressure needed to drive steam locomotives. In 1783, the rolling and puddling process was invented, eliminating impurities in the iron and making it much stronger. In addition to creating much stronger boilers, it also led to stronger and cheaper iron rails on which the locomotives could ride. Another catalyst for the invention of the locomotive was the loss of so many horses during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. This, along with the rolling and puddling method and Watt's Sun and Planet gear, sparked experiments leading to the first steam locomotive in 1804.

This causes a high cost to the growers even after employing additional over time workers. Additionally the trucks arrive at RP1 randomly which makes the incoming shipment unpredictable. Currently, the manual classification of berries results in a $1.50/bbl premium incorrectly assigned to half of the highest graded berries. Also, RP1 doesn’t have enough capacity to hold wet harvested berries resulting in high truck waiting costs due to increase in wet harvested berries shipment. One of the important trends in the cranberry industry is the increasing surplus produced over the utilized berries.

The market for building-grade lumber is very price-competitive, because there are numerous mills selling a relatively undifferentiated product. The only real differentiation comes from the packaging. To encourage its clients to package their products better Westboard Co., the large marketing agency that Treetop sells ninety percent of its product through, sponsors a monthly package quality award. Treetop won Westboard’s package quality award several times over the past five years and received high ratings in the months that it didn’t win. However, the mill’s ratings have started to decline over the past year or two to the point where several clients have complained about the appearance of the finished product and switched to competitor’s brands.
