Sweet and Sour Grapes: The Culture of Yankee Ingenuity & Machine Tools

Buy

The culture of Yankee ingenuity is a defining characteristic of historic American industrial and economic energy and power. That culture and the first special machine tools have a common genesis.

History gives much of the credit to a single individual for their simultaneous rise. Special machine tools have been fundamental to mass production since 1798 and the production of 10,000 U.S. Army muskets.

In 2003 the American special machine tool industry is in serious decline. Its principle market, the American auto industry itself, is involved in a fierce struggle with powerful global competitors.

This historically invaluable resource is not being called upon in 2003 when needed like never before.
