Line shaft: History & Measurement

A line shaft or millworks is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission within factories and industrial complexes. They were used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century. Prior to the widespread use of electric motors small enough to be connected directly to each piece of machinery, line shafting was used to…
