ing to 5-61 millions in 1912, (6-15 millions in 1913); and tubes and parts
of tubes, amounting to 3-03 millions 1912 (2-96 millions in 1913). Among
the exports, important positions are occupied by beams, chammels and
angles, and other products of rolled iron and steel, to the value of 28-3
million kronor in 1912, and 22-7 millions in 1913; by dairy machines,
amounting to 13-4 millions in 1912, and to 15-2 millions in 1913; by tubes
and parts of tubes, of iron and steel, to the value of 5-57 millions in 1912,
and 5-26 millions in 1913. The export of cooking, soldering, and
warming apparatus consuming petroleum, gasoline, spirit, etc. amounted in value
to 6-75 million kronor in 1912 (6-44 millions in 1913); and of telephones to
5-16 millions in 1912 (3-07 millions in 1913). The import and export of
machinery, tools, and instruments is given in greater detail, for 1911, in
Table 96, which is divided according to the headings of the customs tariff"
of that lime. From 1912 a different classification is employed and
therefore only the following summaries for 1912 and 1913 can be given.
In order to illustrate the present position of the machine industry, the
following notes are given with regard to some of the largest
establishments in the country.
The first place among Swedish works, not only with regard to the annual
value of production, but also in respect of the wide dissemination of its products,
is at present occupied by the Aktiebolaget Separator (share capital 24 million
kronor), an account of which has been given, along with other factories for
dairy machines, under the heading Dairies and Dairy Industry. The honour of
having brought this branch of manufacture to such a high level belongs jointly
to the inventor of separator machines, Dr G. cle Laval, and the manager of the
firm J. Bernström. The company has also branch establishments at Berlin, in
Austria-Hungary, Denmark, Russia (Siberia), while in America the patent rights
of the company are held by a joint-stock company, the de Laval Separator, Co.,
of New York, in which the Aktiebolaget Separator is a large shareholder. The
factories of the American company are situated at Poughkeepsie.
Kockums mekaniska verkstads aktiebolag, with foundry, works, and shipyard at
Malmö, produces boilers, steam-engines, railway carriages, warships and merchant
ships, machines for sugar works, etc., to the value of about 3 500 000 kronor
