Even though we are solving the issue started relatively late start is now made to the museum and equipment assembled stand.

The idea is the bearer of an industrialist, Mr. Tabur, who has supported his initiative amounts to collectively and industrialist Mr. Willems’iga worry about the museum rooms Kopli peninsula, the former Noblessneri factories. The initiative was supported by many of the engineers and industrialists, engineers, etc. Auditors. Has created a museum of association and petitioning the new machines to be deposited in our industry on the side. New machines perform well in the museum wälismaal advertising purposes and are the causes of such equipment a lot of museums.
