1855 CE

Samuel Colt had set up libraries and educational programs within the plants for his employees.

Colt's armories in Hartford are seminal training grounds for several generations of toolmakers and other machinists, who will have great influence in other manufacturing efforts of the next half century.

Prominent examples included F. Pratt and A. Whitney; Henry Leland (who will end up at Cadillac and Lincoln); Edward Bullard Sr. of the Bullard firm; and, through Pratt & Whitney, Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey (of Warner & Swasey).
