Only two days to cover the entire Industrial Revolution. Today was the slow, but progressive rise of Britain, the first of countries to lead the way into mass production of iron/coal/etc. Railroads and steam engines slowly started to compete and have advantage over the cottage industry, and on a side note, imagine the Rocket: an incredible 16 miles per hour... gladly, things will start to speed up to 50 mph later on (any McKay readers would understand the 'insider' joke )
