The Platts Self-Acting Mule, a marvel of engineering, revolutionized cotton spinning by combining the functions of several machines into one. This self-acting feature allowed for greater efficiency and consistency in the production process. The machine's intricate interior is on full display in this photograph, revealing the complex network of gears, pulleys, and belts that worked in harmony to transform raw cotton into fine yarn.
