•  Info I.DeFrancisci & Son industrial macaroni machine makers from July 1917. All the machinery in the plant was run off a pulley/belt system located on the ceiling, which you can see in the picture. The belt system was powered by a single generator and you attach a belt from the system on the ceiling to the machine you want to run (see machine on far left for an example). This was state of the art for 1917.

Just for info. Commons ise not only for Wikipedia. All the sites with mediawiki can use commons directly. Like Ansiklopedika.org. Mulazimoglu (talk) 11:18, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose although of high historic and educational value this image could need some rework. a levels adjustment, proper colour toning, increasing sharpness, decreasing jpg artifacts. a digital restoration can add new qualities, but would be very time consuming and would require a better source image. regards, PETER WEIS TALK 22:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Every vintage b/w or sepia photo of the early 20th century may have a high historic value. But I think we cannot promote or feature here all of them, if they have not a very high technical value, or if strong mitigating reasons for not. I'm sorry, but per Peter Weis, it is not the case here, in my opinion.--Jebulon (talk) 22:34, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

 Info I’ve looked through the commons & I’ve seen very few photographs of machine shops shown in this way from this time period. There are a few here, but maybe I’m not looking in the right place. FieldMarine (talk) 07:02, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

•  Oppose Bad contrast, I don't like the sepia tone. Yann (talk) 06:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose needs restoration. --Elekhh (talk) 06:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose The subject — a state-of-the-art (of its time) macaroni machine shop — is very interesting and I like the scene, composition, expression of the faces and there are some quite nice details like the shoes. I would be willing to support after a serious restoration job to fix some of the technical problems mentioned by other reviewers. --Slaunger (talk) 13:46, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
