You say the machinery is "high quality". Do you know what machinery they are using? Was this machinery "high quality" when it was originally installed back in the 1930s, as I suspect - and has now had 80 years of wear and tear? Or is it brand new state-of-the art CNC machinery - which I would very much doubt? Geoffrey
