These weren’t true factories in the modern sense, and usually didn’t have machines.

Detailed explanation-2: -Before the factory system products were made one at a time by individual workers. The work was generally performed at a small workshop or at home. As machinery became larger and more expensive, factories formed where business owners purchased the machines and hired workers to run them.
