The poor get poorer and rich get richer. In The Time Machine by H. G. Wells‚ that statement is true due to the way society has seemed to devolve‚ at least in the eyes of an unnamed Time-Traveler‚ by the year 802‚701 CE.

Two types of grinding machines In materials processing a grinder is a machine for producing fine particle size reduction through attrition and compressive forces at the grain size level. See also crusher for mechanisms producing larger particles. In general‚ grinding processes require a relatively large amount of energy; for this reason‚ an experimental method to measure the energy used locally during milling with different machines was recently proposed.

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells was a very thought provoking novel with an intriguing flow of events in the form of a story. Wells’s original intent for the book was to prove a dull point and put it in an interesting form‚ but it turned into something much more.

He really shows what is symbolic in the story by

These groups had functioned like a pyramid‚ they had a political boss at the top who controlled most activity in the city‚ in the middle of the pyramid was the ward boss who controlled votes‚ and at the bottom of the pyramid‚ the local precinct workers and captains had worked streets to gain votes.
