Article: Eli Whitney Armory named ASM Historical Landmark.(ASM News)

The Eli Whitney Armory in Hamden, Conn., the first significant independent American armory and the place where materials processing innovations began the tradition of precision production and interchangeable parts in the U.S., has been named an ASM Historical Landmark.

"To be listed with the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower (other ASM Historical Landmarks) is quite an honor," said Beverly Hodgson, president of the Eli Whitney Museum Board of Directors. "We are very grateful for ASM International for bestowing the designation of ASM Historical Landmark on the Eli Whitney Armory, the precursor of our museum."
