John Fritz valued “the real mechanic who possessed ‘finger wisdom’ and brought to work each morning a salutary conscience and willingness to innovate” (as expressed by Thomas J. Misa in “A Nation of Steel, The Making of Modern America, 1865-1925,” Johns Hopkins paperback edition, 1999, page 174).
Photo of John Fritz is from the “Autobiography of John Fritz” (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1912). Fritz was a leader in the development of the iron and steel industry in the United States in the 19th century.
