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

It's from the same book, showing the "interior of C.S. Rolls & Co.'s

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

The huge sprocket was presumably for drafting a pacer.
