Re: Sirens

I don't think there is much left of the WWII types. Whoe they ramped up. They were Super Alert. They were growling sirens, in and out of phase . Phase shifting came from that.

Re: opinion; old German milling machine

So back to a horizontal mill..We need to remember our mentor. It doesn't have to be a "universal/ swivel table. You can place another atop and drive it for helical gears' milling.
That hit me square and who we are dealing with.
