The energy of a
moving stream of
water was the
first source of
power to be
harnessed by
man. This
program
demonstrates
water power
using wheels,
shafts, gearing
and other
ingenious
devices for corn
milling, textile
manufacture,
wood working and
the pumping of
water. Visits
water wheels in
Britain to show
the range of
designs used
during the
Industrial
Revolution up to
the early 1900s.
