I used to work with them when i was in apprenticeship at BALZERS AG in Liechtenstein.
They had 4 in a row next to 2 heavy Oerlikon lathes, 3 Schaublin 102, 4 Mikron mills, a Schaublin 53 mill and an old Oerlikon beast of a mill which had the urban legend amongst the freshmen/women that there was a WWII U-boat diesel in the basement powering it. (to make them believe, we always sent an apprentice who "knew" out the door for a few minutes to 'start the Engine')

Ahhhhh ...,,,, good memories

Anywho ,
Get that Reiden !!!

Cheers
