Including tales of Surface Plates, Jo-Blocks and Watt's first Micrometer.
Not even close to all-inclusive, but it is interesting and entertaining with certainly at least some educational value.

Glad you liked it Frank ... I think it sort of puts some important things into perspective!
There are several other videos in that series that are also worth the watching.
