Even in the 60's machinery often lacked guards. I worked at a cement manufacturing plant and for my uncle who was a farmer back then with big irrigation pumps. At both it was common to have big electric motors connected to machines via belts that would slap and pop right next to you sometimes at over 20' in length. Pretty scary to be walking next to those things.
