Default Bridgeport milling machines.

Used a Bridgeport vetical mill for the first time in my metalworking
efforts at trade school. Brand new, very nice...cost $45K in Oz.
DRO's to 5 microns....

Query - there were a few in the room, old one labeled "Adcock and
Shipley" made in England. The new one had a big American flag sticker
on it, nearly obscured the sticker on the motor that said "Made in
Mexico"...couldn't see any stickers to say where the rest of it was
made.

Where? - out of idles curiosity, is it made? - I know from reading
here they have iconic status to this group...
