Rolf: Well worth the 15 minute watch. A lot of very old, well maintained machinery. Neat to see the old belt driven gear. I have a water powered saw mill near by. Same sort of thing except water provides the power. A lot of wooden cogs and the like
Thanks so much for posting this. I enjoyed watching it. Going to down load it to watch again later.

Loved it. Thanks.
I worked on a old lathe that was converted from a belt system.
The last patent date on it was 1889. This was in 2001. It was in great condition.

I worked with such a lathe at Hemet Wholesale Nursery in San Jacinto, CA. They auctioned the equipment in 1978, and all retired.Loved it. Thanks.

The young folk of today are writing software for computers to control sophisticated manufacturing machines. :-) In fact there's probably an app for that. LOL!

Fstop12,
That was exactly mine line of thought.
Its all but a lost art now. The artisan is a
lost art form accept for a very few who hang on
to the past This little factory belongs in a museum somewhere
just to remind us of the past. Its what todays machine design stems from.
A really great video. We can all relate ie the cameras from the past to todays digital. But what have lost and what have we gained.
The long hours in the dark room, mixing dangerous chemicals, dodging and burning, glass filters, timing and temperature control etc.
Today, hours on the computer playing with LR or PS new control techniques, layers and curves. I don't know which is better, I guess its all what you call art and the way it is produced.
