Dear followers,
Today I share the complete chapter " Needles" of the 1876 book 'British Manufacturing Industries'.
Before the scans please find below photos of the book so you can see for yourself how unique and well bounded the book is, -and remains as such-, after one century and a half of existence.
The book is part of a collection of books dedicated to list the sources , means of capital and production and locations of the British Manufacturing Industries during the Victorian era.
The author places quite a heavy emphasis of the Needles industries in Birmingham trades, but note however. that the prominence of the needle manufacturers in Birmingham at the time was truly exemplary and characteristic of the whole needle industry as a whole , especially considering the methods of manufacturing the needles.
The methods of financing and purchasing the wire are not only indicatives of the difference between the manufacturers of pins and needles but also an indicative of modernity as you will see ahead of the chapter. Hope you enjoy the scans,
