Thanks David so much for the info. I work with plastic moulded part tooling so we have date codes that show the year in the centre then rotate around for each of the 12 months and you are correct, it is for standards testing and quarantine purposes in case of issues with a given run.
I have done some aluminum part casting work for clients and I believe the graphite tools used are good for about 10,000 parts before they need dressing in the tool shop so I am sure your clock data to let the mould shop know its time between rework is spot on. Thanks.
Yes Don, it is 'custom' in a way as it is all original, but came out of, and going back into, my '37. The owner before me swapped out the 282 back in the 50's and it is a far superior mill so I agree with the update.
I like the green, so that is why it is that colour. You are quite correct, it was of course grey to start with.
