In Germany there was a company called "Maschinen- und Schleifmittelwerke Offenbach", short MSO. They made cylindrical grinders.
I think this was a company of high regard right up there with Schaudt, Fortuna, Karstens.
It seems that at some point in time they must have done something with Cincinnati, as the machines were then actually labeled Cincinnati - MSO or even later possibly Cincinnati Milacron MSO. I am looking at one just called Cincinnati, but in the manual it says Cincinnati-Milacron (I do not have the manual).
The machines I have looked (pictures) at are from the R50 series, meaning R53, R55, R57, R58.
I presume Cincinnati bought out MSO at some point in time. Anybody know any details?
Who made what machine at what point in time. I cannot imagine the R machines being brought in from the US. What does the R and the number stand for anyways? R could be "Rundschleifmaschine", being cylindrical grinder in german. The number does not seem to be the center distance.
Was MSO sold in the US?
Any info appreciated.
