"In 1921 there were 87,398 factories with more than five workers; 71,321 used machines, the rest were hand manufacturing. In 1926 there were 51,906 factories with 1,875,000 employees growing in productivity with reduced employees due to mechanisation."

These numbers are confusing because the drop in overall factories over a temporal gain. 1921: 87398 factories 1926: 51906 factories

I would expect the numbers to increase not decrees during a supposed industrialization process.

I would mark it with a [citation needed] thing, however, I thought I would add it to discussion first.
