Was driving in the steelyard/scrapyard part of town today, saw an interesting Bridgeport on a trailer in front of me. Twin Brigport heads, later model belt speed change, mounted on a set of ways running horzontally. Base had a Brdgeport logo, table was about 42" or 48". Control panel had an even dozen buttons 4 x 3. Must of been heavy, the Surburbon pulling it didn't accelerate very fast. I'd never seen one before, rare?
That probably was a tracer mill.

I hope that THEY didn't drop it.

I used to see them in a lot of shops. Now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I saw one being used. A log time ago at any rate. I imagine inexpensive CNC's have pretty much killed the market for those things.
