Samuel Colt and his namesake revolver. What is arguably his greatest innovationâ€”introducing mass production to the firearms industry. Prior to Colt, arms were produced by hand, meaning if they broke down in the field, you needed a gunsmith on hand to repair. Mass production allowed for spare, interchangeable parts to be carried into battle, an important innovation.

This firm was established in 1834 by Levi Lincoln, who founded New England Card Co. in 1832. The Iron Works made tools and simple machines used in making carding tools for production of cotton and wool. These early machines were dog-powered, and displaced a substantial domestic industry in making cards by hand. Other early products include a patent faucet for molasses barrels and machinery for making patent hook-and-eye fasteners. In 1840 Levi's sons George S. Lincoln and brother Charles L. Lincoln were in charge, the business being reorganized as George S. Lincoln & Co.. Their products included drills and engine lathes. In 1886 the company reorganized as Lincoln & Co., and in 1901 as the Phoenix Iron Works. In 1907 the business was merged with the Fenn Machine Co. to create Taylor & Fenn Co., and is still in business under that name, as a foundry.

The Lincoln Miller The famous Lincoln milling machine was manufactured here in 1854 by Francis A. Pratt, who went on to found the Pratt & Whitney Co. in 1862. The "Lincoln miller" design was made by many firms in the latter half of the 19th century. The Lincoln miller was arguably the first dedicated milling machine. It used a lathe-style base with a usually horizontal milling arbor that was traversed across the workpiece, which was held motionless on the bed. The Lincoln miller did not offer three-axis positioning, and was not suitable for drilling, but its simple and rigid design survived for at least 40 years.
