The 1751 Machine that Made Everything (the first modern metal lathe) [video]
- GaryNumanVevo 8y agoI've been watching a ton of Machine Thinking's videos lately. His series on Metrology (scientific study of measurement) is super interesting. He talks about how to work your way up to precision manufacturing from a set of granite slabs. We owe a ton of thanks to the scientists and engineers that developed techniques to produce very accurate gauge blocks from which the entire modern world is built on.
