It is an American story. When the Union government asked R bbins & Lawre ce for 10,000 rifles in a month, they found a way. In great factories and small s ops, innovators a d entrepreneurs figured out how to make complex objects in quantity by machine, rather than one at a time by hand, and the machine tool industry was born. The weapons of war an the peaceful produc s of everyday life becam plentiful. The work Robbins and Lawrence undertook at our site generations ago forged new future for the manufacturing industry. Repeatability and interchangeable parts, the basis of the American System and precision manufacturing, changed the world. The American Precision M seum tells the story of this histo y and challenges visitors to apply their own probl m s lving skills in the Learning Lab. As companies like yours seek new t lent, we can work together to build interest in a world-changing industry. • Support the preservation of APM’s world-class collection of historically significant machines, as well as the 1846 armory where the museum is housed • Support the addition of modern manufacturing equipment and interactive learning tools used to challenge young minds with a variety of programs offered at APM • Support the addition of modern manufacturing equipment and interactive learning tools used to challenge young minds with a variety of programs offered at APM • Support the addition of modern manufacturing equipment and interactive learning tools used to challenge young minds with a variety of programs offered at APM • Allow unlimited entrance to the American Precision Museum, with behind the scenes tours available by appointment • Allow unlimited entrance to the American Precision Museum, with behind the scenes tours available by appointment • Allow unlimited entrance to the American Precision Museum, with behind the scenes tours available by appointment • Add your name to the permanent record of those who support APM along with an exclusive gift that was machined on-site by APM interns • Add your name to the permanent record of those who support APM along with an exclusive gift that was machined on-site by APM interns Where the Past Shapes the Future of Manufacturing • Add your name to the permanent record of those who support APM along with an exclusive gift that was machined on-site by APM interns
