Mill was originally purchased by the Central Oregon College year unknown 1930? the machine was used for 4-5 years when it was bought by Brooks Resources Corporation. http://brooksresources.com/about-us/brooks-resources-history/ Story goes the machine was used by one millwright that was the foreman of the shop. At some point in the 40s he left Brooks and started a machine shop close by. A few years later he was hired to do some line shaft and other repairs at the mill and saw the universal sitting with junk piled around it. As part of the payment on the mill repairs he was given the mill. It was used at his shop till the 50's when the shop was closed and his son put it all in storage for almost 20 years, when Gene was able to buy a home and shop the machine was moved out of storage. Gene used the machine a hand full of times for a few items but it mostly it sat in the corner. I bought the machine in 2016 with all the tooling that originally came with it from Oesterlein and boxes of cutters and gear hobbs. I also have the original gear and dividing head chart in a glass frame you can see in the first pic. I could use some help with identifying the proper placement of the gear train to the shafts for the dividing head if someone of better knowledge could contact me .
