there are some fascinating statements here that would
indicate that clock
making and the associated requirement for precision was *the* major force
behind the start of mass production and that many early mass production
advocates were far more concerned with precision and quality than is
commonly assumed!
I tend to think it was more military demands (hmmm, just like
technology today...). When your guns don't work and theirs do - you
probably ought to go back to the armory and kick some asses.
