Summary[edit]
DescriptionEli Whitney milling machine 1818--001.png | This milling machine was long credited to Eli Whitney and dated to circa 1818. From the 1910s through the 1940s, this version of its provenance was widely published. In the 1950s and 1960s, various historians of technology mostly discredited the view of this machine as the first miller and possibly even of Whitney as its builder. Nonetheless, it is still an important early milling machine, regardless of its exact provenance details. Another early milling machine is one from Middletown, Connecticut, circa 1818. |
