SUMMARY:Inventors and Innovators
DESCRIPTION:Original patents\, drawings\, portraits\, machines\, and tools will be a part of this celebration of ingenuity\, primarily focused on those in the Machine Tool Hall of Fame. \nThe American Precision Museum is hosting a special exhibit in April\, celebrating “Inventors and Innovators\,” featuring members of the Machine Tool Hall of Fame. The exhibit is open Monday – Friday\, 10- 5; admission is half-price in April. \nThe exhibit explores patents\, famous industrial partnerships\, the development of industrial ecosystems\, and how colleagues from various companies often worked together. Archival materials from the museum’s collection include 19th century patent documents from the U.S. and Great Britain\, trade literature from numerous companies\, and more. \nThe Machine Tool Hall of Fame is an initiative of the American Precision Museum and the Association for Manufacturing Technology. The Hall of Fame includes 47 individuals and is available online at The Manufacturing Ledger\, a new portal that highlights the stories of the celebrated people behind the machines.  \nMany biographies are displayed in the exhibit\, including member influence and their company affiliations. The machines displayed in the exhibit hall linked with the Machine Tool Hall of Fame\, also are highlighted. \n“While reading the biographies\, you realize that some of these men were notable for their inventions\, some for their ingenious business practices\, and others for inspiring and catalyzing others\,” said Executive Director Steve Dalessio.

SUMMARY:“Patterns and Molds:” Temporary Exhibit at American Precision Museum
DESCRIPTION:This special selection of items is drawn from the Museum’s archives and remains on exhibit weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm through Monday\, February 14.   The exhibit includes video elements explaining molding processes\, live demonstrations of thermoforming\, and more.   Although many of the patterns resemble simple shapes\, some are more complex\, and all ultimately became parts of machines. During the winter\, when the museum is not heated\, admission is free (although donations are welcome). This special exhibit takes place in the heated section of the museum. \nExhibit links with Education Kit “Achieving Repeatability “ \nThe exhibit also ties in with the museum’s next education kit\, “Achieving Repeatability”.  This interdisciplinary kit for kids in 4th   through 6th  grade will be available to local teachers and informal educators free of charge in February. The kit includes lesson slides and all the physical materials a student would need to create a cookie cutter that tessellates\, build a catapult that’s both accurate and precise\, exchange the parts of a clicking ballpoint pen\, and more. The lessons tie in manufacturing\, history\, and STEM with art and the humanities.
