New job at work (machinist)
My grandfather was a machinist tool and die maker.
No idea on the date of this picture, they retired the machine when he retired in the mid 80's
They got a new computerize lathe to replace his, he said when they can pass him up, he will retire (they wanted him to learn to use the new one).
It took a few years for them to do that with the learning curve and equipment issues.
He retired with about 50 years with the same company, it is my understanding that this lathe was there the entire time.
They built cement mixers and later pumpers.
