Lehmann Machine has changed hand three times since it's original bankruptcy back in 1969. I worked for the man who bought the remains of Lehmann Machine Co. in 1973 for a merge $15,000!!! He got about six truck loads of drawing files, which I and John Oder have seen and doug thru, all of the wooden patterns, leftover finished parts. All of this was shipped to Houston and setup at what used to be called Drilco a division of Smith International. Smith decided to move this part of the operation to California around 1976-77. The first four new lathes went to Houston. They were redesigned a bit. The castings came from Korea or Taiwan and the machined parts, most were done at the Smith facility in CA. Later, don't remember, around 1990 something, Smith spun it off on it's own. And up to a few years ago, was still building lots of hollow spindle lathes mostly for the oilfield. Of course, the oilfield has been in a tail spind for the last five years, too. I sure that had a lot to do with them not in business today. Or whatever happen to their business. Ken
