EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Bushby's Patent Pill Making Machine from the year 1869. The machine, a significant innovation in the field of pharmacy during the 19th century, revolutionized the process of manufacturing pills. The pill mass, initially placed between two plain rollers, undergoes a transformation as it is pressed and formed into a sheet of precise thickness. The thickness of the sheet, in turn, dictates the size of the pills that will be produced. The operator, with a determined expression and a firm grip on the turning handle, oversees the process. The machine's simple yet effective design epitomizes the ingenuity of the era, as it streamlined the production of pills and paved the way for advancements in pharmaceutical technology. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of tablet manufacturing and the dedication of those who labored to bring reliable and consistent medicines to the masses.
