Whitworth artillery

I ran across this today and thought it was an interesting video.

Great video, I found that fascinating! My only exposure to Whitworth anything was that type of fasteners used to assemble the older British motorcycles I used to ride and restore as far as the background goes I was clueless until now. Thank you for posting that.

Re: Whitworth artillery

To think that up untill 1840 we didn't have a standard thread , but had men like Witworth that could think in terms of a millianth of an inch , to now where we have all this tech and the average individual is capable of less as a result , in less than 200 years

Re: Whitworth artillery

I watched this video with great interest as well as the one that came on following it about water droplets not coelecing into water right away. Cool videos if you’ve ever wondered about the science of things. The guy has other videos I’m probably going to check out, too.

I wound up watching his videos for about two hours after watching this one.
