Knitting Machines: Economics and History

In which the guys tour the Framework Knitters Museum in Nottingham, England and talk about the history of knitting machines. Invented in 1589 by William Lee (for perspective, Shakespeare was getting his career going writing plays). (Correction to the video. William Lee died in France, it was his successors who moved back to establish the industry in England.)
