The perfectionists [sound recording] : how precision engineers created the modern world / by Winchester, Simon,author,narrator.(CARDINAL)124439; Harper Audio (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)539013;

Read by the author.Simon Winchester traces the development of technology from the Industrial Age to the Digital Age to explore the single component crucial to advancement: precision. At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in the eighteenth-century, standards of measurement were established, giving way to the development of machine tools--machines that make machines. Eventually, the application of precision tools and methods resulted in the creation of mass production. From its origins in the Industrial Age to today's cutting-edge developments occurring around the world, from America to Western Europe to Asia. As the author introduces the minds and methods that have changed the modern world, he explores fundamental questions. Why is precision important? What are the different tools we use to measure it? Who has invented and perfected it? Has the pursuit of the ultra-precise in so many facets of human life blinded us to other things of equal value, such as an appreciation for the age-old traditions of craftsmanship, art, and high culture? And can the precise and the natural co-exist in society?Includes bibliographical references (pages 369-374) and index.Stars, seconds, cylinders, and steam -- Extremely flat and incredibly close -- A gun in every home, a clock in every cabin -- On the verge of a more perfect world -- The irresistible lure of the highway -- Precision and peril, six miles high -- Through a looking glass, distinctly -- Where am I, and what is the time? -- Squeezing beyond boundaries -- On the necessity for equipoise -- The measure of all things.

Those vehicles and pieces of machinery also need to be routinely maintained and repaired when damage occurs, and the individuals responsible for those tasks are also highly valued within the industry. The types of careers related to heavy equipment operation are incredibly wide-ranging, from the obvious, like construction equipment operator, to the not-so-obvious, like hand laborer. Careers in Heavy Equipment Operation, Maintenance & Repair offers insight into what it's like to work directly with heavy machines, as well as working in adjacent positions that help maintain and repair these crucial pieces of equipment...[This book] provides detailed and need-to-know information on various careers in the worlds of construction, infrastructure, and adjacent industries such as mining and oil and gas" -- Salem Press website.

Sole man : Jan Matzeliger's lasting invention / by Keller, Shana,1977-author.(CARDINAL)413342; Costanza, Stephen,illustrator.(CARDINAL)705051;

In 1873, Jan Ernst Matzeliger immigrated to America from Suriname, South America with dreams of a bright future. Though he was highly skilled with tools and machinery, no one wanted to hire a Black immigrant who didn't speak English. Jan finally got a job at a shoe factory and learned the process of shoemaking. He envisioned a new machine, a lasting machine, that would help produce more shoes more efficiently. People scoffed at Jan's idea, but he wasn't deterred. Despite many obstacles, after years of experimenting, Jan demonstrated his lasting machine. And his invention changed the shoe industry forever.Ages 6-12.

I invented the modern age [large print] the rise of Henry Ford / by Snow, Richard,1947-(CARDINAL)186376;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 541-550).Growing up as a Michigan farm boy with a bone-deep loathing of farming, Ford intuitively saw the advantages of internal combustion. Resourceful and fearless, he built his first gasoline engine out of scavenged industrial scraps. It was the size of a sewing machine. From there, scene by scene, Richard Snow vividly shows Ford using his innate mechanical abilities, hard work, and radical imagination as he transformed American industry.
