Mill machinery in a factory, Palestine 1930s

A millstone turns among other machine parts inside a factory hall. Such facilities emerged as part of the industrial build-up that German Jewish immigrants drove forward in the British Mandate of Palestine after 1933; many brought capital and technical expertise that enabled badly needed basic industries such as milling and processing plants. Footage of running machinery like this was often used in contemporary films as evidence of the economic progress of the Jewish community in Palestine.
