Enggineering metrology and measurements

The origin of metrology can be traced to Industrail Revolution, which began in Western Europe and the United States in the beginning of the 19th century. This period saw a trasition from manual to mechanized production and the setting up of factories to manufacture iron and textiles. There was a paradigm shift from artisan-oriented production methods to mass production. An artisan produced an article the same way a storage shelf is built in a closet-by trial and error till the parts fit. Mass production called for division of labour and precise definition of production tasks. Tasks became specialized, requiring skilled people who worked on only a portion of the job, but completed it quickly and efficiently.
