We at the Minnesota Transportation Museum just got a free surface grinder
donated to us , unfortunately it came in a bunch of boxes. We have no idea
what it should look like, so we don't know how to put it together.

It is from "Robot Machinery Co new York, no model number, can anybody shed
any light on this piece of machinery, a picture from a manual perhaps.


Thanks in advance, Jack

Courtesy Google image search, though I can't get the page it finds
that's supposed to have this image to load properly - any of those look
like your parts? I can't quite see if it's really the right name on the
machine.

There's a number of folks on this NG that live close. If you need
help, I'd be glad to stop by. A couple of my machines could be moved
from my museum er shop to yours.

Remove the .NOT to email.

The picture looks similar to the parts/machine we got, but I need assembly
drawing for all the parts so we can put it back together. I'll try the
Smithsonian.

Thanks, Jack
