[SEL] Thread rolling machine

[Curt]

Rick,
This would make a fascinating working display belted to h&m engine. 
Making carriage bolts or something similar would be a great souvenir for 
spectators to take home. SEL member Tommy Berry has a jewelers chain 
making machine that he feeds copper wire into. The wire is cut, bent, 
looped, and closed to form chain. He gives pieces of chain away for 
souvenirs.
I notice the manufacturer is Waterbury Farrell and the ad dates it to 
the early 1900's. We have a 1930 Waterbury Farrell ball forging machine 
in our plant that runs every day. It is one of the sweetest running 
machines we have. The quality of WF machines is second to none! The 
factory in Waterbury Conn. was destroyed and there are no records left 
so you'd be on your own figuring the machine out however. Go for it!
