Hello all, Happy New Year.
This past year a new book came out on Brown & Sharpe, "Brown & Sharpe and the Measure of American Industry: Making the Precision Machine Tools That Enabled Manufacturing, 1833-2001"
by Gerald M Carbone. It is on Amazon at
Amazon.com: Brown & Sharpe and the Measure of American Industry: Making the Precision Machine Tools That Enabled Manufacturing, 1833-2 1 (9781476669212): Gerald M Carbone, Rhode Island Historical Society, Foreword by Steven Lubar: Books
I am a little over half way through it am and enjoying it immensely, at first I was a little worried because the author was commissioned by the Sharpe family to write it. It is very personal in talking about the key players and I have read things I never knew about them, about J.R. Brown, Darling, Beale and of course the Sharpe's. One thing this book is not is a re-hash of the old B & S story as told by Luther Burlingame.
So if you like B & S I recommend you get and read this book.
