In 1906 Oscar E. Perrigo published the popular book "Modern machine shop," construction the equipment and management of machine shops. The first part of "Modern machine shop," Perrigo (1906) focussed on the physical construction of the building and presented a model machine shop. With this model machine shop, Perrigo explored the way the space in factories could be organized. This was not uncommon in his days. Many industrial engineers, like Alexander Hamilton Church, J. Slater Lewis, Hugo Diemer etc., published plans for some new industrial complex.
