  Already during his tenure as a manager at Vansta on Södertörn from 1675-85, Christopher Polhem established a workshop and built, among other things, weight-driven rotisseries. From the year 1700, when his innovations were to be manufactured industrially at Stjernsund, this solution became part of the range of technical solutions.

  In a list of his "new inventions at Stjernsund," Christopher Polhem mentions, among other machines, one designed to make rotisseries. These were manufactured by the clockmakers at the ironworks, as the heavier blacksmithing they mastered was useful for producing the larger products.
