How Machine Tools Shaped the Modern World: Inside the American Precision Museum
"In this special feature from Modern Machine Shop, we tour the American Precision Museum in Windsor, Vermont—where the foundations of precision machining and mass production were first laid. Housed in the original 1846 Robbins & Lawrence Armory, the museum tells the story of how interchangeable parts, machine tools, and early automation revolutionized not just machining—but the world." from the video introduction
"The American Precision Museum combines the atmosphere of an original 19th century factory building with a world-class collection of historic machines. The 1846 armory building, the “Shaping America” exhibition and accompanying programs explore industrial history in the context of innovation, creative problem solving, and the impact of precision manufacturing on American history and culture..." from americanprecision.org
