In 1970, [[Wayne Moore (swimmer)|Wayne R. Moore]] wrote about the Moore family firm, the Moore Special Tool Company, who independently invented the [[jig borer]] (contemporaneously with its Swiss invention). Moore's monograph, ''Foundations of Mechanical Accuracy'',<ref name="Moore1970">{{Harvnb|Moore|1970}}.</ref> is a seminal classic of the principles of machine tool design and construction that yield the highest possible [[accuracy and precision]] in machine tools (second only to that of [[metrology|metrological]] machines). The Moore firm epitomized the art and science of the [[tool and die maker]].
[[David F. Noble]]'s ''Forces of Production'' (1984)<ref name="Noble1984">{{Harvnb|Noble|1984}}.</ref> is one of the most detailed histories of the machine tool industry from World War II through the early 1980s, relayed in the context of the social impact of evolving automation via NC and CNC. Also in 1984, [[David A. Hounshell]] published ''From the American System to Mass Production'',<ref name="Hounshell1984">{{Harvnb|Hounshell|1984}}.</ref> one of the most detailed histories of the machine tool industry from the late 18th century through 1932. It does not concentrate on listing firm names and sales statistics (which Floud's 1976 monograph<ref name="Floud1976">{{Harvnb|Floud|
In 1989, Holland published a history, ''When the Machine Stopped'',<ref name="Holland1989"/> that is most specifically about Burgmaster (which specialized in turret drills); but in telling Burgmaster's story, and that of its acquirer [[Houdaille Industries|Houdaille]], Holland provides a history of the machine tool industry in general between World War II and the 1980s that ranks with Noble's coverage of the same era (Noble 1984)<ref name="Noble1984"/> as a seminal history. It was later republished under the title ''From Industry to Alchemy''.
