The pictures brought back memories of my machine shop days. I ran a 120" VTM, a 5" Horizontal mill, 10' tracer lath, and a host of othe machines. At the Rexnord/Nordberg plant where I worked they had a 26' VTM. Always loved seeing the massive parts being machined on that HUGE machine. Then I went into welding, and that was my most fun job!
