    And the next day they all rode to work at factories with great
    spinning wheels, shafts and belts, completely unshielded...but their
    trousers were clean!

    no covers were needed:

    It's from the same book, showing the "interior of C.S. Rolls & Co.'s

    C.S. Rolls was a bike enthusiast he wandered off into automobiles and
    airplanes:

    The huge sprocket was presumably for drafting a pacer.
