Metal Machine Industry
The rapid development of the textile industry resulted in the appearance of the metal machine industry in Bielsko and Biała. It provided the local factories with machines and devices. The next part of the exhibition is devoted to that industry. The Museum holds an antique lathe (the beginning of the 20th century), various drills, a collection of manual blacksmith tools. An interesting object is a 22-kilo album containing photos depicting the board of directors and the employers working in the textile machinery factory: Gustav Josephy's Erben. The exhibition is completed by photographs and paintings connected with the metal machine industry.

Each year to disguise the clanking mechanism
Of machine within machine within machine.”
