Universally, credit has been given to Isaac Babbitt of Taunton, Massachusetts, in the early 1800’s as the inventor of the anti-fiction alloy.  It has recently been discovered in his early writings, that the great Leonardo de Vinci, interested in the effects of rolling friction on the bearings of wheels, advised the need for cooling journals overheated by the friction.  He predicted that the ideal formula for future mechanical developments, to 83.3% tin, 8.3% copper and 8.3% antimony. 

The de Vinci theory was realized 150 years later which revolutionized many developments during the industrial age. Babbittech recognizes the fast changing needs that effect our new industrial age today.
