Yes indeed. Our ancestors did some amazing things with the tools they had access to. I found the book "Finding Longitude" to be fascinating. There are a few books with similar titles. The one I read was written by Dava Sobel, with forward by Neil Armstrong.

The most fascinating thing to me is how he was able to conceive, design, obtain materials, then fabricate a working marine chronometer that can keep accurate time on board a rolling, pitching, bouncing ship. A major undertaking in the early 1700's.

That was an excellent book. I read it as an assignment in a history class and kept it in the permanent collection. It was most of a hundred years before anyone started making things like standardized threads and lathes with cross slides... Those guys were truly amazing mechanics!
