Chinese factories shacks my a**, no longer now.And the fun thing is it's being done in shacks too. Sounds to me that shacks are the best method of industry to me.

roflmaoSorry, I didn't realise we could just make things up on this thread.
I think you'll find, if you check, that the production of purple hippopotami increased by over 79% in the UK between the years 1900 and 1927 and that by 1924 the UK was the largest supplier of purple hippopotami to mainland Europe, overtaking the previously unassailable position previously held by the Krupp Nilpferdwerk since the early 19th Century.
Those are niche areas that superior British brands ignored as uneconomic - I mean how big was the market for electrical toasters in 1900...Well, things like dye, Jena optics or electrical goods proved that you're wrong
Middle and upper class, also in prewar Germany, there was a large scale electrification of streets and factories unlike British sheds.Those are niche areas that superior British brands ignored as uneconomic - I mean how big was the market for electrical toasters in 1900...
Well, the problem is that you cannot produce high quality precision instruments, electrical goods, electronics or chemical products in large scale in "sheds". Thats why Britain sucked in these sectors (except for chemical after ww1), especially before ww1strangely enough the many of the mosquito parts were built in "sheds".and we all know what a failure that was.
o.so if they didn t build them in sheds then where did they build them??Well, the problem is that you cannot produce precision instruments, electrical goods, electronics or chemical products in "sheds". Thats why Britain sucked in these sectors (except for chemical after ww1), especially before ww1
Just edit my post to make it more accurateo.so if they didn t build them in sheds then where did they build them??

who was building electronics before WW1??Just edit my post to make it more accurate
Electronics were developed before ww1who was building electronics before WW1??
you mean like in a cottage industry?????/where were these massive hi tech manufacturing plants?Electronics were developed before ww1

It seems that you avoided discussing about precision instruments and electrical goods because German superiority in these things were undeniable.
And my argument was not limited to just pre ww1. After that Britain still lagged in these sectors.
The industries I mentioned were the most important post 1870 industries, or new industries.you mean like in a cottage industry?????/where were these massive hi tech manufacturing plants?
o ya...cheery picking...you know.....
so you mean like there was no electronic industry before ww1.The industries I mentioned were the most important post 1870 industries, or new industries.
Before ww1, electrical equipment and chemical were the most important
After ww1, electronic industry also emerged.
There was, actually, but it was more like a part of electrical industry, unlike after ww1. The first major electronic products were things like telephone, radio and vacuum tubes.so you mean like there was no electronic industry before ww1.
I think his point is that,There was, actually, but it was more like a part of electrical industry, unlike after ww1. The first major electronic products were things like telephone, radio and vacuum tubes.
Like triode invented by Lee de Forest, yesI think his point is that,
"Electronics is the science of controlling electrical energy electrically, in which the electrons have a fundamental role. Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies. Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit."
Not sure that many (if any) pre WWI electrical devices can be considered electronic rather than electromechanical?
Germany had no meaningful middle class and the German population was dirt poor compared to the British, which happened to be Germany's biggest market for manufactured goods. The fact you keep banging on about the British deferring electrification, we can conclude the Germans would have sold few electrical goods - except perhaps to themselves. The vast majortiy of German exports during the period consisted of old technology including; sugar, steel, textiles and low quality consumer goods. There is one key German export in the 1920s you have failed to mention, which actually astounds me...Middle and upper class, also in prewar Germany, there was a large scale electrification of streets and factories unlike British sheds.
Besides, offices would prefer to have telephones and typewriters.
Do you think I am a pirate? Why do you repeatedly send everyone on vague treasure hunts to find some tenuous support for your arguments?You may search in google book, these info are only available in snippet views of things like the Engineer

And Germany accounted for 46% of global electrical export market.we can conclude the Germans would have sold few electrical goods - except perhaps to themselves.
