Default BECKER mill (info needeed)

(troncs)

with regard to
Becker mill

John Becker manufactured an early form of vertical mill in Boston,
Massachusetts (Hyde Park), then for a while in Fitchburg, Massachusetts (early
1890s), then back in Boston.

The machines show up, rarely, in modern use. You won't find Internet
information as to the mechanics. Your friend will have to learn the machine by
using it. He/she can probably use it for small shop milling/drilling, but will
need to adapt it to your requirements as you would any older machine still in
service.

Bon Chance!
