Scherr-Tumico survives, I think. Used to be the #3 after Starrett and Browne & Sharpe. Once upon a time water power made places like Springfield, Hartford and New Britain the hub of American precisone tools and manufacturing.
All that is gone, partly due to elitists looking upon those who actually make things with their skill and their hands as some kind of troglodytes.
