The engine which was made by Allison had over 300,000 kilometers on it. The main bearings were brass, and were turned by hand on a lathe which would be very primitive by today's standards. They were within .0003 of original factory specifications. Maybe we should check your BMW?There are two hundred year old Patek Phillippe watches that keep perfect time. Will your Seiko be around in 2205?
I own a Mosin-Nagant rifle that will very consistently shoot ½" groups at 100 yards using iron sights and surplus ammunition. The rifle was made at the Sestroretsk factory in Russia in 1913. Can your new Remington do that?
We have better materials, and we can make things faster. To say that no precision exists in products of the past would be a serious mistake, a very serious mistake indeed.
