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 th e annual,
value of production, b u t also in respect of th e wide dissemination of its products,,
is at present occupied by th e Aktieljolaget Separator (share capital 24 million
kronor), an account of which has been given, along with other factories for
dairy machines, under th e heading Dairies and Dairy Industry. The honour o f
having brought this branch of manufacture to such a high level belongs jointly
to "the inventor of separator machines, D r G. cle Laval, and th e manager of the.
firm J. Bernstrom. The company has also branch establishments a t Berlin, in
Austria-Hungary, Denmark, Russia (Siberia), while in America th e p atent rights,
of th e company are held by a joint-stock company, th e de Laval Separator, Co.,
of New York, in which th e Aktiebolaget Separator is a large shareholder. T h e
factories of th e American company are situated a t Poughkeepsie.
Kockums mekantska verkstads aktiebolag, with foundry, works, and shipyard at
Malmo, produces boilers, steam-engines, railway carriages, warships and merchant,
ships, machines for sugar works, etc., to th e value of about 3 500 000 kronor
