The Great Exhibition Building in Hyde Park - Painting Machine, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Great Exhibition Building in Hyde Park - Painting Machine, 1850. View of...the sash-bar painting apparatus...One of the sash-bars is occasionally passed between the brushes, to keep them clean. After being primed, it is placed in a wooden tank, containing paint of the consistence suitable for the first coat, and subsequently taken out and passed through the brushes, to remove the superfluous paint, which runs off into a wooden shute placed in an inclined position. Any of our readers who have watched the tedious process of hand-painting sash-bars, will be able to estimate the advantage of this simple yet effectual contrivance. It may be as well here to mention, that Mr. Owen Jones, the architect, is already making experiments with regard to the most appropriate colours for the columns and other internal decorations'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
