Excerpt
This kitchen-workroom was designed primarily for older or physically-handicapped farm women who must conserve their energy. Its many energy-saving features, however, will work equally well for any homemaker.
In planning this kitchen-workroom, the designers have applied findings of studies of the energy expended by women in performing household tasks. They have also taken into account studies of the space required for various household activities.
Storage designs, workspace, and arrangement of equipment are planned so that work can be done with a minimum of walking and other motions.
The overall size of the kitchen-workroom is 17 ½ by 18 feet.
