How I wish I could go back in time to see these things myself, but alas, I can't, those things are too expensive.
Anyway, this is the machine gallery at the Worlds fair in Paris 1889. It was contained in a huge building, as explained it could hold over 15,000 horses, and still have room for more horses. They had all sorts of machinery here, this particular area had just machine tools. Overhead, on those triangular rails they had a sort of rolling platform that moved over the length of each wing.
There are some people hidden about, but you can get a sense of scale of these machines. I liked the velvet rope, as if that would stop wayward hands.
I chose colors based on french made machines, which seemed to be brighter than American made. I made them all different colors so you can see one machine from another. This angle compresses everything, its hard to make one one from another.
I don't think everything here milling based, I think thing on the right is a scale of some kind. But I've seen scales in machine shops before, so its probably related.
