Playing around with all the wonderful scans on Vintage Machinery renewed my interest in figuring out some of the numbers on my 2HL Vertical. The factory number is easy enough. This 3595 is #19 of 25 built in March 1942. In parenthesis in the description it says, "MIEHLE" as do a few different batches of 1HL-2HL Horizontals and Verticals elsewhere on the page. Is that to note a buyer that bought the whole run?
Additionally, attached is a photo of its DPC number and a tag beneath it that says, "Elizabethport", which I'm assuming is New Jersey and maybe a shipyard. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has something more definite to add.
