It occurs to me on occassion that there will probably come a point within a few years when there is not one single example of the first NC and CNC machine tools left on the planet.
And there were some fascinating machines (to me anyway) produced at the dawn of that era..Moog Hydrapoints, machines with hydraulic servos, wierd NC controls...even Hughes Aircraft made one for Burgmaster, the infamous "Bandit" control by Allen Bradley, Slo Syn X/Y tables and stepper motors...and on and on..
Will anyone besides me care when they are all scrapped ?
The most ubiqutious of the Moog models, circa 1969. Pneumatic logic control with hydraulic actuator drive.
