NEW YORK: 370 SEVENTH AVENUE LONDON: 6 & 8 BOUVERIE ST., E. C. 4 1926 l".f // ^^ Copyright, 1916 BY Joseph Wickham Roe First published May, 1916 Republished March, 1926 "Man is a Tool-using Animal. Weak in himself, and of small stature, he stands on a basis, at most for the flattest- soled, of some half-square foot, insecurely enough; has to straddle out his legs, lest the very wind supplant him. Feeblest of bipeds ! Three quintals are a crushing load for him ; the steer of the meadow tosses him aloft, like a waste rag. Nevertheless he can use Tools, can devise Tools: with these the granite mountain melts into light dust before him; seas are his smooth highway, winds and fire his unwearying steeds. Nowhere do you find him without Tools; without Tools he is nothing, with Tools he is all." Carlyle: "Sartor Resartus," Chap. IV. 12&4-I PREFACE The purpose of this book is to bring out the impor- tance of the work and influence of the great tool build- ers. Few realize that their art is fundamental to all modern industrial arts. Without machine tools modern machinery could not be built. Little is known by the general public as to who the great tool builders were, and less is known of their lives and work.
