Title |
Technical Advance and Stagnation: The Case of Nail Production in Nineteenth-Century Montreal
|
Abstract |
The author studies the evolution of nail making in Montreal, from handmade iron nails, to machine-made cut nails, and finally to steel wire nails. For most of the nineteenth century, Montreal was the centre of the Canadian nail trade. By 1900, most nails were made in large, steam-powered rolling mill complexes. The first rolling mill in Canada was built by Mansfield Holland (1813-1884) in Montreal in 1859.
