You need to look up 'line shaft.'

Was the way things were done before electricity.

Also need to look up how many one handed/ one armed handymen used to be around. That many unshielded belts running all over the shop......

Also, need to look up the price of electricity and the price of running a gas or Diesel engine for 8 hours.

Sometimes progress is a good thing, and we forget what a good deal electric power is.

But I digress.

You need to look up line shaft, as my Wikipedia link heads to.

I enjoy the disadvantages section they list.....

We actually had a lim shaft in the 24x32 shop when I was a kid. It was run by a electric motor, but it powered a grinder, a sharpener, and a drill press. Dad tore it out, no room left to work with the belts and the shaft down one wall.
