Blanchard Adjustable Lathe
Springfield Armory Museum, Springfield Massachusetts.
This was a water powered machine with two spindles. A sensor on the form provided would cause a blade to cut away at the musket stock on the other spindle. This was a major step in making weapons with interchangeable parts.
