U-Tube - "American Precision Museum Tour Pt 1"

[gunsmither]

Found this video today, and thought I'd post a link. Outstanding tour of this Vermont museum that explains the beginning of Interchangeable precision parts manufacturing in the USA. Surely others may have seen this already I assume, but it's well worth checking out for newbies and old timers alike. Very well done!

Thanks Gunsmither - I just stumbled onto this one last night! Some interesting history of US firearms industry as well as machine tools.

I had seen it before awhile back, and had forgotten it until today when it was posted on Shooters' Forum -

The mass production manufacture of firearms was what really stirred the Industrial Revolution, here and in Europe. Our ancestors
were pretty sharp cookies. We owe them a great deal of thanks.
