Yup, I still see a fair number of Logans in California shops.


Manual machines, actually in production??
I can't imagine anyone making money that way.


That's how my father-in-law paid for his South Bend, and later, after
having mistakenly sold that, a Logan, now in my posession.

He found someone who needed parts he could make, and made a few every
day after work.

The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is still using a
South Bend "Heavy 10" they originally aquired to do optical work for
the navy during WWII. Not actually a production shop, exactly,
although they do make stuff for planetaria and science museums
nationwide.
