A person on another forum made this slide show of 1916. Highland Park plant I think.

Cool slide show. Yes its Highland Park.
All those pulleys and belts are just amazing. Wonder how many appendages got caught up in them over the years.

I wonder how much time and oil it took each day to keep all those belts and machinery turning? In today's sealed bearing world its hard to imagine.

How often would a belt come off its pulley or break and shut down a line?
