Great pic, Carl,

That shop was probably making stuff with swastikas on it in 1940 or 41.....

Still impressive.

I wonder if that was the Browning plant where the Nazis put the workers on the "incentive" plan?

HA! you thinks that impressive for romania? (im from romania yey ). Theres a company called titan tmg which makes machines the size of schools, heres the link for it, very impressive. The machines are so heavy that they dont use dovetail slides or linear bearings. They float on a bed of oil controlled by a precision hydraulic pump. Lots of pics, these machines are huge, but my dad used to work at a company that MADE machines this size The site is www.titan-tmg.com . My dad also says the place place to get machine tools is romania, they are always thrown out, very simple to get for free, shipping is the problem
