The eleventh chapter is devoted to Spandau, and the book ends with chapters on combination mills, early steam mills, the development of the so-called Mill Yard (Mühlenhof), social clashes at the end of the 19th century and the development of mill construction from a craft to a product of engineering.The book is richly illustrated with photos, contemporary plans, diagrams, sketches, reproductions of paintings etc. |
