The lathe has often been called "The Mother of all Machine Tools", and for very good reason, as well featured in this video. I think I linked to another one of these "Machine Thinking" videos in another thread on this board. They have produced several other videos as well, all worth the watching IMHO. #Post#: 64036-------------------------------------------------- Re: The 1751 Machine that made Everything By: Jim Date: June 24, 2024, 7:28 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Very interesting video Daniel. #Post#: 64344-------------------------------------------------- Re: The 1751 Machine that made Everything By: Weedensteam Date: July 6, 2024, 12:43 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Daniel, you may have gotten me into trouble, we will be in Paris for a short time this fall, somehow I have got to convince my better half that this is an important stop in our schedule. :) #Post#: 64346-------------------------------------------------- Re: The 1751 Machine that made Everything By: Stoker Date: July 6, 2024, 1:24 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Weedensteam link=topic=7294.msg64344#msg64344 date=1720287837] Daniel, you may have gotten me into trouble, we will be in Paris for a short time this fall, somehow I have got to convince my better half that this is an important stop in our schedule. :) [/quote] Always glad to get a fellow steamer in trouble with their better half Frank! ;c) Perhaps you could beguile her with an offer to show her some of the sources for all the modern conveniences that she now enjoys. That and a promise of a fine meal afterwards might just get you in the door for a few minutes!!! #Post#: 64350-------------------------------------------------- Re: The 1751 Machine that made Everything By: RedRyder Date: July 6, 2024, 4:22 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Fascinating! #Post#: 64351-------------------------------------------------- Re: The 1751 Machine that made Everything By: RedRyder Date: July 6, 2024, 4:34 pm --------------------------------------------------------- [quote author=Weedensteam link=topic=7294.msg64344#msg64344 date=1720287837] Daniel, you may have gotten me into trouble, we will be in Paris for a short time this fall, somehow I have got to convince my better half that this is an important stop in our schedule. :) [/quote] You might want to try [font=Roboto, Arial, sans-serif]Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.
