Happy Birthday to the inventor of interchangeable parts, standardization and the assembly line (it was NOT Henry Ford!)
What's been done to his company oughta be illegal though. I heard they even sold a statue off the top of the building to a collector. Colt used to make revolvers that came out of the factory with triggers that could compete the custom gunsmith stuff of today. Oh well, one more peice of American Heritage tossed on the scrapheap.
