In the 18th century, mechanics were pretty much anyone who worked with tools to make or repair things. An example of an 18th century mechanic is Benjamin Franklin. In the 19th century, the definition was mostly the same as in the 18th century however, automobiles were beginning to be produced in the 19th century which would have been the beginnings of the profession of a mechanic.
