The origins of materials testing machines can be traced back several centuries. Equipment of this type can last a very long time if well looked after, would like to know where the oldest testing machine still in service can be found and is offering an incentive for helping to answer this question in the form of a competition for users of such a machine.
As early as the 15th and 16th centuries, Leonardo and Gal were giving consideration to stress and the elastic behavior of materials. The middle of the 18th century saw the first materials testing machines appear in France and around 1850 the first universal testing machine was developed in Germany. 19th century pioneers included companies such (the latter's workforce incidentally including one Carl Benz), together with and later in 1937 began to build instruments, machines and systems for mechanical material.
