=================================================================


Here is a photo of my little Rockford #3 horizontal mill.

I thought you might like to see what mills looked like back 
around the first world war.

I just finished rebuilding it and it probably will never be this 
clean again.

I'm not sure of it's date of birth, but the company (Rockford 
Milling Machine Co.) started in 1905 and continued under that 
name until 1926 where a merger changed their name to Sunstrand 
Machine.

The pinstriping was just artistic license.
