	: Time was, back in 1912 while Mr. [Berthold] Audsley was in England, that he made a model of the Immingham docks on the Hummber River in Yorkshire. On a platform constructed in eleven sections, 28 by 16 feet, the model represented territory covering two square miles. Every building, crane and bridge and 8,000 tiny gondola cars filled with coal were made and put in their proper places by Mr. Audsley, who completed the exhibit in three months. The last six weeks of the time, he lived in a room at an inn next door to his specially built workshop and worked twenty-two hours a day. That model required the construction and placement of two miles of miniature railroad track. The model was placed on exhibition at the Ghent Exposition in 1913.		: Time was, back in 1912 while Mr. [Berthold] Audsley was in England, that he made a model of the Immingham docks on the Hummber River in Yorkshire.

			: Mr. Audsley is the type of artist who can step down from a heavy machinery lathe to another bench and start work on an intricate lacy carving, or do a bit of painting in oils so exacting as to require the use of a magnifying glass.

			: [[Berthold Audsley]] also constructed models of ships, carriages, armor, and Medieval castles for use as educational materials in the Newark, New Jersey, public schools. Several of these are still preserved at the Newark Museum where he was employed. He additionally constructed working model steam locomotives of cast metal. One eighteen-inch-long example, presently in a private collection, developed 200 pounds pressure and ran at 40 miles per hour.
