Summary

[edit]
Description Treadmill at Brixton Prison in London, c1817, British Library. Note: The broadside features an illustration and description of a treadmill at Brixton Prison in London; it shows prisoners serving 'hard labour' engaged in grinding corn. The machine was designed by William Cubitt and was able to accommodate up to 24 prisoners at one time. Each prisoner moved along the tread-wheel from left to right until a new prisoner joined at the far end. When 24 prisoners milled, the rest period was 12 minutes every hour.
