And the next day they all rode to work at factories with great
spinning wheels, shafts and belts, completely unshielded...but their
trousers were clean!

Dear Chip,

Luckily, the factory's wheels, shafts, and belts were immaculate, so
no covers were needed:

It's from the same book, showing the "interior of C.S. Rolls & Co.'s
workshops at Lillie Hall, West Brompton. Established in 1902 . . ."

C.S. Rolls was a bike enthusiast he wandered off into automobiles and
airplanes:

The huge sprocket was presumably for drafting a pacer.
