When we take a package of tortillas at the store shelf, we ignore that until the earlytwentieth century, the manufacture of this food was an exhausting process: each tortillawas done manually and the fire is lit with wood or coal, a task that occupied the womenfrom before dawn.

From the late eighteenth century, inventors sought to automate the production of tortillasand corn milling of, but requiring complex mechanisms were in some way human hands.

In the 1940s, Fausto Celorio began working on a model that automatically tortilla couldmake the whole process, allowing industrialize the production and ensure the survival of the food.
