i didn't know,from alloy artifacts
« on: May 27, 2019, 03:26:45 PM »
One final event will probably not be noted anywhere else except here at Alloy Artifacts, but we think it should be significant for our readers. May 31, 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of modern socket technology, based on the release of Blackhawk's heavy-duty interchangeable socket sets on that date in 1919. An example of one of these early sets can be seen as the Blackhawk No. 8 Socket Set, and our article on Blackhawk will provide lots of further information

Just for clarification, how is "modern socketry" quantified?  Many, many companies were turning steel and broaching sockets prior to Blackhawk including Lane, and most (if not all) fixed "socket wrenches" had a pinched on "cold broached socket" for a head.
