First video posted

Where does precision come from? I dig into the history and a bit of how-to for where the dimensions that are everywhere around us come from.  I also introduce my first project – a recreation of the James Watt Micrometer which is possibly the first device used for measuring material at high precision.

    I can not seem to find the extra footage of Carl Edward Johannson that was mentioned in the video.
    Where could I find it?

      It was one page further back and this post – so I just changed the date and moved it up to the top of the front page so it’s easy to find. Thanks for watching!

    I suspect this blog won’t let me post a direct link, but for anyone in search of the blurred out footage:
    Search this site for “Missing Origins of Precision footage”. The post is from October 29, 2018.
