The Fellows Gear Shaper Company operated along the Black River in Springfield from 1899 to 1953. Today the mill seems partly reused for light industry. Here I quote from the Springfield National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form: "The Fellows Gear Shaper Company complex was the largest and best known of the precision tool industries in .Springfield, and it directly contributed to the late nineteenth century place-name designation of Springfield as the Precision Valley."

UPDATE: In the summer of 2012, part of the Fellow Gear Shaper mill opened as a public art gallery.
