Question

Answer 1

The typical workers in the mid-nineteenth century were not a machine operator but the traditional craftsperson and labourer because the machines could not easily displace the traditional industries like that of textiles. The process of industrialization was slow in such sectors as the machines were costly and broke down frequently.
