I was reading about the Indus Valley civilization, with their infrastructure and assembly-line style production, and I figured it would absolutely be possible for an industrial revolution of sorts in a bronze age culture assuming the population was relatively dense and urbanized.

I was wondering, while of course this wouldn't mean steam power and ironclads, my question is what is the limit of machinery and industry in the Bronze Age? How common could wind and waterpower be for milling and moving and machinery?
