I am preparing a research assignment for my students on this subject.
Looking for suggestions as to names which might be used as search
terms or links to sites that would be appropriate.

Read "Tools For The Job" by LTC Rolt.
Superb book, and Tom Rolt was also a pioneer in the preservation of
industrial archaeology.

Names to conjure with are "Watt & Boulton" "Bramah", "Whitworth",
various US gunsmiths, and the Norton grinding wheel company. The RAC
Cadillac re-assembly trial is worth studying too.
