Description: | This metalworker is using a lathe to shape cylinders. Lathes were used in medieval times to shape wood, but were substantially improved in the 19th century by Henry Maudslay (1771-1831) and then further modified by Richard Roberts (1789-1864). | Subjects: | Machinery Metal Workers Workshop People (Active) Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Davies, J O | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
