Whitworth's three plates method
text:
The Whitworth Three-Plate Method is a technique for creating precise flat surfaces, invented by Henry Maudslay and popularized by Sir Joseph Whitworth in the 19th century. Crucially, this method does not rely other flat reference surfaces or other precision instruments, and thus solves the bootstrapping problem of how to create the first precise flat surface.
