The imports and exports of iron- and steel-wares embrace a large
number of different articles, of which only some few amount to a greater
value. Of imported goods we thus notice rails with accessories to a value
in 1899 of no less than 9*44 million and, in 1900, of 5’68 million kronor.
Of exported goods we notice pipes and parts of pipes of iron and steel
to a value of 3o2 million kronor in 1900. The import and export of
machinery, implements, and instruments are more specified for the year
1900 in Table 128, page 869, which is disposed with regard to the
headings of the Customs tariffs; it offers several details of interest.
To explain the present position of machine-industry, the
following statements are given concerning some of the largest establishmeflte
of the country.
First among Swedish factories, not only with regard to its annual production
value, but also with regard to the considerable circulation its products have gained,
stands at present the Separator Co., Ltd., for which we have accounted aboTe,
as for other factories of dairy-machines, under the heading Dairies and
Dairy-farming, p. 586. The honour of having brought this manufacture, within suck
a short time, to so considerable a height, jointly belongs to the inventor of
the separator-machines Dr. G. de Laval, and the energetic economic leader of
the business J. Bernström. The company also has branch-establishments in
Hamburg, in Austria, Hungary, and Denmark; and in America the patent-right
of the company is held by The de Laval Separator Co., Ltd., in New York, in
which company Separator has great interests. The factories of the American
Company are situated in Poughkeepsie.
1 The distribution approximately corresponds with the one used in the Ubulir
summary on page 862. — ’ A krona = 110 shilling = 0’268 dollar. — 3 Including piece
of clocks and watches.
