See Singer, History of Technology, several volumes, I think volume two, on "machines," water wheels; or any other big history of technology.

Subject: [SHOE] Another question

First of all, thanks to those who figured out how to get the book off
of Google a couple of days ago.  Now, I have another question.
Schumpeter writes about violence against saw mills in 1663 [Business
Cycles, i, p. 243].  I know that the Dutch had wind driven mills, but
I had not hear of power driven mills that early in England nor about
the workers' resistence to technology.

Thanks again to all.
