Neg repping OP and Boxer(not really) becasue this thread makes me miss my late grandfather. ☹ He worked most of his life at GE, built and ran lots of those tools or tools like them back in their hayday. The long list of cool stories he would tell is endless, bunt unfortunately the story tellers aren’t. But yeah, if anyone gets a chance to work or even get a walk through at places like GE or giant machine places like that jump on it. The respect for things you will see go on and into stuff you take for granted every day will blow your mind. SUBSCRIBED TO THIS THREAD. ---
