Human and horse power
With the implements, look at where hands or a draught animal supplied the power and how it was converted into work via levers, wheels or blades.
Household items beside machines
Farm life did not take place only in the fields. Compare a household object with an implement and ask how the seasons and labour set the rhythm indoors.
Films and local stories
Images and written memories place the objects in north-east Overijssel. Distinguish between personal experience and general explanation; each tells you something different.
