You probably meant a Monarch 10EE, good choice.
AFAIK you can still
order one. The Hardinge is an HLVH, also a good choice. The shop I
used at White Sands had Monarch's and LeBlond's; the shop for the
research labs back at the university had Clausing big lathes, but they
also had a Hardinge or two.
