A workshop in motion

In late nineteenth-century Łódź, belt-driven machines helped transform textile manufacture. A line shaft distributes rotational power from a central prime mover to machines through pulley-and-belt transmissions.

Operate the mill

  1. Press Start drive.
  2. Adjust throttle to increase drive torque.
  3. Open either clutch to isolate a loom.
  4. Reduce belt tension to observe slipping.
  5. Increase weave density to add loom resistance.
  6. Press the emergency stop; release it with the same button.

Move around

  • Drag: rotate the 3D camera.
  • Wheel / trackpad: zoom.
  • Camera presets: focus on machinery.
  • Space: start or pause.
  • R: reset; H: this guide.
The drive torque curve, belt friction, thermal response, and looms are intentionally simplified. Geometry and operating characteristics are artistic approximations. They are not historical measurements, mechanical engineering design values or safety procedures.
