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.

Famous quotes containing the words metal, machine and/or industry:
“There were metal detectors on the staff-room doors and Hernandez usually had a drawer full of push-daggers, nunchuks, stun-guns, knucks, boot-knives, and whatever else the detectors had picked up. Like Friday morning at a South Miami high school.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“My plan of instruction is extremely simple and limited. They learn, on week-days, such coarse works as may fit them for servants. I allow of no writing for the poor. My object is not to make fanatics, but to train up the lower classes in habits of industry and piety.”
—Hannah More (1745–1833)
