Thimmonier had eighty [sewing] machines in operation, turning out military
uniforms--until an angry mob, composed of professional tailors who viewed the
machine as a threat to their livelihood, stormed Thimmonier's factory,
destroying all the machines and nearly killing their inventor. Thimmonier
fled to the town of Amplepuis, where he died in poverty. - Charles Panati
