About this book
Precision machinery underpins ordinary objects as well as scientific discovery. Simon Winchester traces the engineers and techniques that made such accuracy possible, beginning with the Industrial Age. A childhood encounter with carefully made metal blocks introduces this history of technology, which asks how exact measurement came to shape modern life.
