::::: I'm happy for them. The MIT converted hydrotel (first nc machine ever) was running and making 3 ashtrays in 1952. The ashtray was their sample part handed out at conferences showing this new method of machine control. You can maybe find photos online. Times have changed.
1961 is way late, several US machine tool builders had machines widely available, for sale, in trade shows, several years before that. [[Special:Contributions/203.160.68.123|203.160.68.123]] ([[User talk:203.160.68.123|talk]]) 05:06, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
