Translation of Manufaktur[edit]

Just to point out that while the word 'factory' is more familiar to English speakers, it is not always suitable in the meaning of a production site creating handmade goods (manu-facture = make by hand). In this case, where manufacturing is ancient and traditional, the archaic word 'manufactory' is actually suitable, and is used in English, e.g. with reference to Derby porcelain or Chelsea. Though the term may not be familiar to laypeople, and is thus often 'corrected' on Wikipedia, it is used e.g. by experts at Cambridge University (example) or the Royal Collection (example). The OED defines 'manufactory' in this meaning as 'A place where a product is manufactured; a factory or workshop, now esp. one where articles are handmade.', with several quotes including one from the Church Times from 1992. 93.218.185.75 (talk) 10:26, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
