Related to the Moore's work, I also enjoyed Engineering reminescences[0] as a historical account how people figured out ways to make accurate things in metal, more than a hundred years ago.

You might also like English and American Tool Builders by Joseph Wickham Roe, I picked up a copy from a free library and enjoyed it. I should probably skim it again, then set it free into the system for someone else to find.
