Initially Adcock & Shipley made Bridgeports under licence, but after
not very long Bridgeport bought Adcock&Shipley and ran it as a
subdivision.

Any idea when that was?

I have an Adcock & Shipley V ram with a J head & slotter that was made in
July 1964, and it looks more "American Bridgeport" than some of the other AS
machines I've seen before.
