  • Notes 
    • His complete collection of these minor miracles of design and craftsmanship was presented to the National Machine Tool Builders' Association (now known as The Association For Manufacturing Technology) in 1972. AMT then transferred the entire collection, minus eleven miniatures, in July 1990 to the American Precision Museum. The eleven models were kept at AMT Headquarters in McLean, Virginia, on display until 2010 at which time the entire collection was reunited and now resides at the American Precision Museum in Windsor, VT. This fulfilled John's one enduring wish that his collection would never be broken up, but ultimately kept together at a single location.....
