We visited the USS North Carolina today, and to be there on Memorial day was quite moving. Especially watching the videos, reading the firsthand accounts and letters, and imagining what it was like being on this huge ship in the Pacific ocean in the early 1940s, actively engaged in a war. Contrary to the face he's making, little man had a good time too.

I see your still "expanding" the Family! Congrats!:)
 
What brand were the lathes?
1 was a Lodge and Shipley,the other 2 were Reed Prentice. Also had a shaper, radial arm drill, and nice Bullard VTL. Decent selection of tooling, but I'm sure there used to be a lot more tooling, as well as more machines. I didn't see a mill anywhere, which was a bit surprising. I also didn't take any other pictures of machine tools because that would be lame.
