This element reflects the transitional industrial technical terminology from the beginning of the last century.
• Brass works — A workshop specialized in the melting, casting, shaping, and crafting of brass, or a retail store intended for the exclusive sale of utilitarian, ornamental objects and metallic accessories made of this copper-zinc alloy.
