Yeah, that's a different book, _Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy_:

Related to the Moore's work, I also enjoyed Engineering reminescences[0] as a historical account how people figured out ways to make accurate things in metal, more than a hundred years ago.

You might also like English and American Tool Builders by Joseph Wickham Roe, I picked up a copy from a free library and enjoyed it. I should probably skim it again, then set it free into the system for someone else to find.

Thanks, seems to fit the theme!

A better link would have been:

(the book is long out of print, and used copies are exorbitant, but maybe if enough folks express interest it will get a reprint)
