Scope and content
Chocolate manufacturing at the Brown & Haley factory in September of 1921. At this time, most of the candy was made and packaged by hand. Automation was of the simple gear and pulley type shown here. Pulleys drive the machinery used to mix the chocolate. To the right are possibly the vats where the more solid chocolate is melted into a liquid, or large mixers where the liquid is mixed with the other ingredients for candy. The primary ingredients of chocolate candy are the liquid chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, sugar and milk. G33.1-126
