Perhaps a list of dividing engins would be shorter (and more interesting) than a list of "makers":-) But harder to make. Almost equally hard will be to make a list of TESTING machines which are used to produce a certificate. I wonder whether Cassens-Plath has one:-) They refused to show me anything in their factory except ready items for sale. And the certificates they issue do not contain real numbers:-) But I've seen this machine at Freiberger, and I know that the Russians have two similar ones:-) > and documented that they had a good dividing > engine and so graduated Alex. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
