Factory through the ages / Steele, Philip

Factory Through the Ages tells the story of manufacturing and the people who have invented and made things. Beginning with prehistoric stone workers, we follow the growth of industry as people discover the secret of bronze, use iron, and make pottery and glassware. The modern factory develops as we arrive at the present and take a look into the future.

Traces the development of manufacturing in Europe from the simple process of making axes in ancient times to the sophisticated factories that exist today.
