Learning on ScreenWhat the Industrial Revolution Did for Us: War Machine
- Synopsis
- Dan Cruickshank discovers how the Industrial Revolution created modern warfare. He looks at inventions such as The Turtle, the first submarine used in conflict; the interchangeable Baker rifle; Congreve’s rockets, which were the first self-propelled rockets ever used by the British and finally considers the pulley-block, which was indispensable to the success of the British navy and which led to pioneering methods of mass production.
