    The 1751 Machine that Made Everything

    I stumbled across this and thought it was worthy of posting here. I especially appreciated how the narrator made the point that the increase of accuracy in machine work + mechanization/mass production was directly associated with the exponential increase in wealth that we all enjoy today.

    Best regards,
    Bryan

    Good post; the narrator is actually a member here - he goes by machinethinking. He has another good video here: World's Oldest Micrometer - 1776! Who made this thing??
