[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In Freudenberg, a little town in Southern Westphalia, there's a small but very interesting museum of old technologies. This several decades old mechanical work bench caught my eyes here because of it's solidity and it's excellent condition.
For me it's fascinating to see all these possible and understandable applications which are contained in it...the same feeling when seeing a steam engine besides a modern high speed train...

Guten Tag Frank,
Where did You find a still such workshop? The beautiful milling-machine and the beautiful lots of different parts, and in this and tools. How I like such climates and accompanying them scents of the grease, oils and the scrap-iron! The beautiful photo, the splendid picture. What a pity that I have the today no green mouth. But on Monday I will look here again.
Heartily I greet from in spite of all sunny Poznan,
Jurek
Postscript: I Return here on Monday

Bonsoir Frank,
A première vue ta photo manque de netteté ou de pixels. Mais le sujet de ta composition est très bon. C'est une très belle pièce de musée dont l'utilisation m'est inconnue.
Merci pour le partage mon Ami.
Pierre

this is a horizontal milling machine..a bit like the ones we had in the shipyards when i was an apprentice marine fitter..it has an indexing table fitted for setting out equal spaces round a bar before cutting any slots etc..
being belt driven puts it into the very last century category..in my shipyard days there was still some belt driven machines..lathes etc
good shot here and full of the details i have picked up...for some it might not be so exciting...meh!
cheers from wet manchester and not a sun in sight

Hallo Frank!
Again an interesting place of historical value - this time not a castle but a modest workshop - one of the places that have had most signifficant impact on European development.
Thanks!
Anton

I like the color of this old machinery, the patina of years of intensive use, just to finish here iddle in a museum. Good sharpness. I just wonder what it was used for.

All the best,

Emmanuel

I have no idea how this machine works, but the shine of its metal and the preciseness of its parts turn it into an interesting specimen.
