Go find a PDF of "Fundamentals of Mechanical Accuracy" by Wayne R. Moore, if you haven't already seen it. That book, along with George Daniels text "Watchmaking" are some of the top inspiring works on the mechanical

Strictly speaking, it wouldn't. One of the interesting things the aviation industry deals with is a need for traceability of the metrology all the way back to NIST standards. That extra test, certification, and paperwork has a price. C

They're deceptively simple. If you want to get into the history of modern manufacturing, a lot can be written about the development of gauges of accurately known dimensions.

I see this in my own shop. Digital displays instill people with greater confidence in the measurement than is warranted. This is something of a UI fail, as the tool manufacturer (Mitutoyo) has very clearly defined measurement precision for

Wow, this is just wonderful. Such a simple idea so well executed! Having just shown it around at the office, the consensus is that it's fascinating and very engaging. I hope more videos are forthcoming. A minor fix would be to prevent
