摘要

科工館蒐藏有中興紡織公司創廠時紀念機台，及圓編針織機、橫編針織機及織襪機等緯編針織物件，經由修復機器、生產照片、技術手冊以及向物件所有者進行訪談，挖掘物件所蘊藏的歷史意義及技術創新，獲得業者改良針織設備及技術脈絡物件等研究素材，進而討論應用紡織物件於科工館展示教育的可行性，而有以下成果：一、建立紡織藏品詮釋資料：從針織技術、業者使用歷程及產業特性等不同面向，來建立紡織藏品詮釋資料，對於失去原始脈絡的產業機械文物，賦予在博物館展示及教育的意義，作為建構典藏台灣紡織科技藏品圖譜的基礎，為徵集作業提供評估標準。二、物件應用於博物館展示教育紡織服飾的思維：以英國及日本經營紡織工業遺址及博物館案例，探討國內博物館展示紡織物件發展上，就物件蘊藏業者創新技術寶貴經驗，透過博物館展演活動及訪談影片的安排，藉此呈現國內針織業者真實的勞動生產景象。三、衍生博物館展示教育的主題：在形成與發展本土針織技術過程中，以探討佰龍機械廠成為世界級企業為例，說明製造針織機器業者在面臨外在環境挑戰時，如何運用本身的利基，來創造出他們的優勢與獨特價值。

The Chung-Chin Textile Company donated its historical equipment, the Tompkins knitting machine purchased in 1949, to the National Science and Technology Museum (NSTM). In addition to the knitting machine, NSTM also acquired circular knitting machines, flat knitting machines, and stocking machines from school and textile industry. The operation pictures and owners' description of above mentioned technical objects have provided useful information to study how domestic knitting industry to develop business and upgrade their equipment to become more competitive. And these technical objects can help NSTM to design educational programs and exhibits for the public to know more about textile industry. The findings were stated as followed: 1. Establishment of metadata for textile collections Metadata were built from knitting technologies, history and specialties of industries which served not only as resources for museum exhibition and education, but also as references to set up museum strategies and standards for acquiring objects from textile industry. 2. Application of textile objects for museum exhibition and education By using cases of textile industrial heritages in England and Japan to discuss the development of museum exhibition for domestic textile objects in Taiwan and through hands on activities and films of interview, the precious innovative technologies contained in these textile objects can be revealed in the real labor productivity scenes in Taiwan. 3. Further exploration for more themes of museum exhibitions and education In forming domestic knitting technologies, the Pai Lung Machinery Mill Co. Ltd. was taken as an example to discuss how it faced international challenges by using advantages to create its own unique values.
