Name:: Bicycle production
Description:: This photograph precisely characterizes bicycle mechanics’ workshops of the period. They repaired sewing machines (two are visible in the photograph), gramophones (one is lying on the floor), and typewriters. Most often they bought so-called component sets, i.e. tubes, fittings and other parts, from which they built a frame and fitted it with their own badge. The sets were bought from large manufacturers /Premier, Eska, but also from Germany and England—the customs duty on bicycles was high, but low on parts/. The fellow kept up with the times: in 1912 it was not common to have a lathe and drill in a workshop driven by an electric motor through line shafting. In a word, beautiful. Jan Králík
