Why were the Victorian industrialists not interested to introduce machines in England? Give any four reasons.

The Victorian industrialists were not interested to introduce machines in England and did not want to get rid of hand labour due to the following reasons:
(l) Abundance of labour and low wages: There was no shortage of human labour. People had migrated to the cities in large numbers. The wages were also low. On the other hand, machines required huge capital investment.
(ii) Seasonal demand for labour: In some industries such as gas works, breweries, book-binding and printing, the labour required was only for a short period or seasonal. The industrialists preferred hand labour because they could be employed for the season only.
(iii) Production of goods with different shapes by hand only: Uniform and standard goods could be produced by machines but some goods with intricate and specific shapes could be made by hands only. In mid-nineteenth century, there were 500 varieties of hammers and 45 kinds of axes that were being produced. Such goods required human skill and not mechanical technology.
(iv) Preference for handmade goods by the upper classes: In the Victorian age, the upper classes preferred hand made goods to symbolise refinement and class. Handmade goods had good finishing. Machinemade goods were generally exported to the colonies
