I finally got around to taking pictures of the "Bench-Port" Vertical Mill.  
This was a Benchmaster base which has had a Bridgeport Model "M" head mounted 
on it.  The degree wheel from a drafting system was installed and is dead on.
I wish I could say that I did the work, but an old friend, Melvin McCurdy, is 
the one that did. We raised the mount of the head from the BM ram location to
give greater spindle clearance.  The large gear in back is worm driven to lo-
cate the angle of the head.  Now, if I can just find the space in my own shop 
for it....
Respectfully,
Ron Moore
