Abstract:The "GUSTAV VOIGT" factory, that existed in a narrow corner in Berlin, manufactured and exported the educational machine mechanism models to Kyoto University in Meiji Era, appears in the address book "Germany precise machine and optical equipment factories", which indicates that the factory was small but famous. The factory was managed by Voigt families from 1879 to 1933, though the factory's name varied slightly. The educational models are devised for the students to understand easily the basic mechanical mechanisms, that are still useful even today. The models must have played an important role in the education of the mechanical engineering during the early phase of Japanese industrialization.
