<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 216351, member: 54"]Going left, the squarish green thing in background is a vertical metal-cutting bandsaw.

Next green machine that's a bit humanoid with its prominent head, is a Bridgeport milling machine, an item once seen in almost every machine shop. Big blue one, I fergit! Dark one also with head is a CNC milling machine (Computer Numerical Control.). It can make metal or composite parts of any shape once programmed, and each part will have measurements identical within a thousandth of an inch, or more precisely if needed. It doesn't tire or make errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Above and behind the CNC mill are around 300 NOS cardboard boxes with white labels, of Acco decorative chain, 50 ft lengths, brass plated steel I think. I now own them all but only loaded half before the owner got too tired to hand any more down from the rack. Will get remainder next week. I think I'll give some away here and invite people to reimburse postage if they like. You can hang lots of lamps with 1 1/2 miles of that chain!
