Models of inventions had accumulated in the Society's Model Room or Repository since the mid 18th century. Prior to the formation of the Patent Office Museum, the Society had arranged displays of new industrial devices between 1769 and the 1840s. These were disposed of, but a new series started in 1848. At the end of the 1851 Great Exhibition, Henry Cole persuaded exhibitors to donate surplus items and Prince Albert asked Bennett Woodcroft, an engineer and consultant involved mainly with textile machinery and ship propulsion, to organise a display of machinery for later exhibition.
