X Kisalföld - X-6 Belfry from Újkér - X-7 House from Bogyoszló

wife lived in the first room of the long range. The prestigious furni­ture includes an inlaid table, four­poster beds and a cupboard with painted doors. The room in the shorter range was used by the elder son Ferenc Megyesi and his wife. This room was heated by the green glazed tiled stove with con­cave tiles fed from the passage. Opposite the entrance the pride of the housewife, a new Singer sewing-machine can be seen. In the common kitchen women worked according to a schedule: at the moment they are preparing for washing. A bench for making the famous pretzels of Rábaköz can be found. • Meyer locomobile The Hungarian agricultural engine industry started in the second half of the 19th century with steam engines. Later petrol-driven, fuel-injection engines were manufactured. Modern threshing-machines appeared in the more devel­oped regions from the early 20th century. In the pantry of the dwelling from Bogyoszló a crushing mill was set up, pow­ered from the outside by a 5 hp petrol-driven, fuel-injection engine standing in the yard. It was constructed by Hungarian Motor and Engine Works Ltd., the successor of Meyer E.& Sons Industrial Engine Works founded in 1850.
