The Phillips Brothers Mill and Box Factory still depends on the stream powered machines first installed in 1897. These days, with all the pulleys and belts moving under steam power, the mill would never pass muster with OSHA. Fortunately, it is allowed to continue operations using the old equipment.
Here is a wonderful video that showcases the old box mill working just as it did more than a century ago.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mKSKZau9qs#at=831
