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.
I didn't see any interesting antiques in their machine shop at the
June 2000 open house. They had the biggest lathes I've ever seen,
holding Boomer propellor shafts.
