The textile mill manufacturing woolen felt was located near the canal along the Fives Celes workshop. Maurice DE JONGH and his sons modified the mill into a mechanical equipment workshop. They designed new machineries for thread making and then manufacture themselves threads reels. In 1840 the factory employed 11 men (monthly salary from 1,4 0 to 3,00F), 48 women (monthly salary from 1,00 to 1,30F) and 17 children (monthly salary from 0,50 to 0,75F) and used 1 water mill, 2 forges, 45 looms, and 4 other mechanical equipment. 1846: The DE JONGH are authorized, by the December 22nd royal regulation, to increase the level of their hydraulic motor with the construction of a canal from the bridge between Lautenbach and Lautenbach-Zell to the workshop.
