Still active, the Moore Special Tool Co. Inc. was founded in 1924 by Richard F.Moore. Mr Moore grew up on a New England farm near Bridgeport in an area not dissimilar in geography to the Jura region bordering Switzerland and France. In both areas the rural population worked hard at making a living. As a consequence, children had to turn their hands both farming and the use of tools in the repair and maintenance of machinery. In the harsh Jura winters, time was spent making high-quality parts for clocks and watches. The result was the emergence of centres of technical excellence and, later, the manufacture of high-quality machine tools."
