Machinists are responsible for manufacturing the products we use every day and making them affordable. In 1769, Englishman James Watt sparked the Industrial Revolution. His steam engine's large cylinders posed a vexing problem. They had to be precise in interior size so that steam could not leak between cylinder and piston. In 1798, American Eli Whitney, secured a US government contract (for $134,000) to produce 10,000 army muskets, Whitney refined and successfully applied the ?Uniformity-System? of production using inter-changeable parts. Machinists routinely break an inch of length into 10,000 equal parts and use this for measuring parts to make sure they are precise enough to work properly.
