Preference for hand labour

2)Machines required large capital investment.
3)In breweries & gas workthe demand for labour was seasonal therfore they preferred hand labour.
4)Intricate design & specific shapes required special human skills & not the machines e.g. in Britain of 19th century ,500 varieties of hammer & 45 kinds of axes were produced.
5)Upper classes like aristocrats & bourgeoise preferred handmade goods.
6)Hand made goods were better finished,refined, classey,& carefully designed.Machine made goods were for exports to the colonies.
