While searching old photos after my mothers death, I came across this one. There is no label, but I suspect it is the tool room in the old Victor Adding Machine plant back in 1947. I think the guy on the lathe all the way to the left is my father.
Any way I thought guys would get a kick out of the row of Hardinges and the couple of jigbores
Please note the modified url, the (1) makes it work.
But hey, I know those machines! Those are split bed hardinge turret lathes. Like:
the one in my shop. I wonder if mine is '47 vintage as well.
Thanks for the photo.

Thanks. Vamco.jpg was the original hi-res scan, vamco1.jpg was the one I shrunk for the dropbox. Typed in the wrong name when I wrote the message.

I always found it most accurate to go to the site in question and then copy the "Address" at which you found it, into the text of your message. As below, I have no idea whether it is an l (L)or a 1 (one) and I don't care but I do know that it's right.
Ok! Everybody in the shop get to a machine and look busy! Were gonna take a picture! :-D
Neat old pic.
