When I first downloaded this, I was all set to view harsh cotton mills, antique machinery, and well, limbs all around the floor of the place. What I did see was a surprisingly modern-aged cotton mill, that looked to have machinery that wouldnt be out of place today. The mechanics of it were surprisingly complex, with human power kept to a minimum. Really interesting, considering this was 1924.
