Rockwell machine 99th anniversary
Hugh Rockwell and Stanley Rockwell were granted a patent for the Rockwell hardness tester on February 11th 1919, a device for measuring the resistance of metallic materials to force. At the time both men worked for the New Departure Company and although they shared the Rockwell name, they were not related. The company was a major manufacturer of ball bearings and later became part of General Motors.
