The Founders of Warner and Swasey
Worchester Warner (1846-1929), on the right, and Ambrose Swasey (1846-1937), on the left, became friends while working as apprentice machinists in a shop in Exeter, New Hampshire in the 1860s. They came to Cleveland in 1881 to start their own machine business which specialized in the manufacture of telescopes and lathes. This photo was taken in the 1920s shortly prior to the death of Worchester Warner.
