Mills machines, factory name or nickname?
Every now and then a thread comes up and the name of a machine comes into question, real name or nickname?. Today I revisited this list that I forgot I had and thought it might be of interest. It's not complete so perhaps we could fill in the gaps and correct any mistakes so it can go into the archives .
