When I found the maker's mark on the head of the capstan, I was reminded of driving past the steel mills in Pittsburgh, my Dad's hometown, and decided to construct a mill for the long defunct J. & J.B. Milholland Steel Co. I used a stock photo of the Bethlehem steel mill from around the turn of the 20th century as my model, applying surface blur and cutout filters and adding some noise and a sepia layer style.
