E. Machinery in Germany
The rapid progress in the fabrication of machinery in Germany is best seen from the growth of the German exports as shown by the following table:
| 1890. | 1895. | 1907. | |
| Machines and parts thereof | £2,450,000 | £3,215,000 | £17,482,500 |
| Sewing-machines parts thereof | 315,000 | 430,000 | 1,202,500 |
| Locomotives and locomobiles | 280,000 | 420,000 | 1,820,000 |
Three years later the first of these items had already reached £25,000,000, and the export of bicycles, motorcars, and motor-buses, and parts thereof, was valued at £2,904,000.
Everyone knows that German sewing-machines, motor-bus frames, and a considerable amount of tools find their way even into this country, and that German tools are plainly recommended in English books.
