Muir, an innovative engineer, gained early experience in Scotland working in the cotton spinning machinery industry before moving to England in 1830. He honed his engineering skills under renowned figures like Henry Maudslay in London, where he worked alongside James Nasmyth, then a draughtsman, and Joseph Whitworth, both of whom would later become famous engineers. In 1842, Muir established his own business in Manchester, beginning modestly but quickly growing. By 1851, his company employed over 30 workers, including apprentices and his own sons. The firm produced a wide array of products, ranging from machine tools to more specialized inventions like screw embossing presses, t and oil-testing machines. Muir collaborated with Joseph Whitworth in developing the world’s first standardized threading system, which became widely influential in mechanical engineering. Over time, the company expanded, manufacturing large-scale machinery such as precision rifle sights and cotton winding equipment. In 1937, the company changed its name to Muir Machine Tools and, in 1944, was absorbed into the machine tool division of David Brown and Sons Group.
