This is purely subjective, but basically I am talking about the iconic machines here, not their generic copies. Basically, these would be machines that changed the world or reshaped it in a dramatic way. This is not limited to any one kind of machine either, and I am wondering what everyone thinks. Anyhow, my list includes the following items:]quote
If you go back far enough, the clocksmiths and their clocks are the people who started the industrial revolution. Without their tools all other inventions would have been non-existant. They are the ones who made machine tools for weapons and marine navigation. Some of the first longarm mechinisms had windup clock parts to make sparks to set off the black powder.
Everything else came after.
