Yup. Table was about 6' x 16', post WWII, but just.
There were actually WWII and pre-WWII era machines still
in use at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the early 80s.
Seemed out of place next to the CNCs.

We had about 15 of them where I worked in the early 80's though they were
larger and had been converted into hydraulic tracer mills.
