American Precision Museum

[Bill Gruby]

I will be gone all day tomorrow. Our club is taking a trip to the American Precision Museum in Windsor Vermont. I will be sure to take a gazillion pictures. This museum has the very first production Bridgeport Milling Machine.

Although the exhibit area is pretty small I really enjoyed my visit. I still wear my "I Love Machines" T-shirt. Have a great time

Bill,
You SUCK!

I got to go the APM several times while working in nearby NH. Came away with lots of geat memories, little brass gears, and even a coffee cup with "I Love Old Machines" on it. I tried but was never able to get the "upstairs tour". How did you swing that one?

Lawson fully automated production lathe. This one was upstairs and is to be rebuilt next year. Circa 1935.
