	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Portsmouth Block Mills
		The Portsmouth Block Mills form part of the Portsmouth Dockyard at Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, and were built during the Napoleonic Wars to supply the British Royal Navy with pulley blocks.
		These machines and the block mills attracted an enormous amount of interest from the time of their erection, ranging from Admiral Lord Nelson on the morning of the day he embarked from Portsmouth for the Battle of Trafalgar on 1805, to the Princess Victoria at the age of 12, as part of her education.
		The Block Mills have remained in constant Navy occupation ever since and in consequence are not open to the public.

		In the same vein, a comment is made on the savings achieved by the use of a canal from the Medway to the mill, and the construction of the rail-mounted crane for the subsequent movement of timber, rather than relying on horse and manual labour.
		As an addendum, six present day photographs of the saw mill are offered, but in the absence of interpretation of what, after all, is functional architecture, the reader is left to guess the significance and functions of the structures illustrated.
		Even more disappointingly, the valuable drawings of the machinery, arguably the key to what went on inside and outside the saw mills, are not only relegated to an addendum of an addendum, but also, apart from brief captions, attract no commentary whatsoever.

		Ten-man Manchester United held on to beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at the Riverside on Sunday and extend their lead at the top of the premier league to four points.
		With second-placed Arsenal not playing Southampton until Monday, United took full advantage through an own goal by Danny Mills and a battling display after midfielder Darren Fletcher was dismissed for a second bookable offence in the 65th minute.
		Boro enjoyed plenty of second-half possession but failed to create any clearcut opportunities, and only a fantastic reflex block by Schwarzer and the crossbar denied the champions a second through Paul Scholes.

	History of mass production
		Then during the Industrial Revolution, Portsmouth Block Mills used mass production techniques to manufacture ships' pulley blocks.
		And in 1784, Oliver Evans of Philadelphia, installed a power-driven system in which grain, moved by conveyors and chutes through the various milling and refining stages, was automatically processed into flour.
		By 1855, both Eli Whitney and Simeon North were using templates to produce identical parts and the British government ordered a complete set of machine tools from the United States for a gun factory.
