International Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection

The American Precision Museum in Windsor, Vermont, contains the nation’s largest collection of historically significant machine tools, tracing their evolutionary development from the earliest period. Metal-cutting machine tools bring to their work a degree of strength, guidance, attention, and stamina impossible for the human craftsman. These tools produced all the machines of the industrial revolution and made possible each successive advance in transportation, communication, and literally every other aspect of civilization. The leisure for universal education can be traced directly to the productivity of machine tools.
