• In 1902 (or thereabouts) Hardinge Co. acquired the rights to the Cataract range of Precision bench lathes, formerly produced by the Cataract Tool and Bicycle Company near Niagara Falls, NY (hence the name of the company) and� the Cataract Tool and Optical Company, the latter being incorporated in Buffalo, (New York). "Cataract" was to become the brand name used for many of the Hardinge precision lathes produced during the next 50 years. The background to the Hardinge acquisition involved a successful range of Cataract rifle scopes that attracted the attention of the well-known gun and tool maker J.Stevens Arms & Tool Company, of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. In 1902 Stevens bought the company and, employing the skills of former Cataract manager Mr. F. L. Smith, continued to market the scopes under their original name.
