surface grinder from "Robot Machinery Co" New York

Courtesy Google image search, though I can't get the page it finds that's supposed to have this image to load properly - any of those look like your parts? I can't quite see if it's really the right name on the machine.

There's a number of folks on this NG that live close. If you need help, I'd be glad to stop by. A couple of my machines could be moved from my museum to yours.

The picture looks similar to the parts/machine we got, but I need assembly drawing for all the parts so we can put it back together. I'll try the Smithsonian.

Thanks, Jack
