| 2. Felt factory |
 |
 |
A door at the main entrance. For some reason it had been boarded from inside.
|
|---|
 |
Social premises, I suppose. It's quite hard to tell because the mess was total as this shows.
|
|---|
 |
The cat hotel was the best kept room inside the building. Toys, water and food cups, scratching boards and so on. The smell here was exactly like you may guess.
|
|---|
 |
The cats weren't too scary type.

 |
Sekunda jo eläessään
|
|---|
 |
Stepping to the main production hall.
|
|---|
 |
At first seems very empty. There is mess and graffiti though.
|
|---|
 |
Supervisor's booth was boarded from inside. Someone had tagged a commercial of an IRC-channel there.
|
|---|
 |
Stap had done some of the best graffitis ever here and there.
|
|---|
 |
No asbestos containing insulations. Here they used felt.
|
|---|
 |
There was some exhibition here once, perhaps we'll never know what kind of exhibition.
|
|---|
 |
Piece of furniture.
|
|---|
 |
You already know who this is.
|
|---|
 |
In the newer part of the factory there were still machines. And here, some production related junk.
|
|---|
 |
The year markings 1997, 1998 must be from times when felt production was scaled down and moved to another location.
|
|---|
 |
Here we have deconstructed machines. Let's look closer..
|
|---|
 |
Yes, it's a Singer.
|
|---|
 |
This was made in Germany's nowadays most post-industrial city, Chemnitz, before 1950's.
|
|---|
 |
Toothwheels from golden age of mechanical industry.
|
|---|
 |
Toothwheels again.
|
|---|
 |
A lot of green felt was left to nearby of another machine.
|
|---|
 |
I really don't know what it is. Any ideas?
|
|---|
 |
Another view to the mystic object.
|
|---|
 |
Now to the upper storey, which contained smaller rooms.
|
|---|
 |
Except for smaller rooms, the second storey was pretty much the same.
|
|---|
 |
Writings everywhere.
|
|---|
 |
Messed, but a special round shelf was still around.
|
|---|
 |
Another room.
|
|---|
 |
A lot of leftover raw materials here.
|
|---|
 |
Some textile technical data table in french.
|
|---|
 |
The factory had used Tampella's linen threads for production.
|
|---|
 |
Unfinished felt was spread all over the upper storey, also to the attic part.
|
|---|
 |
The meter reading is.... ??
|
|---|
 |
Drier it seems to be.
|
|---|
 |
Fuses for machines, including hammer.
