Crescent/Rockwell badged machine. Originally this was property of the US Government/USAF and it appears to have grey paint under the green. I bought it in 2013 from a fabrication facility in Maple Grove MN that had previously purchased it from a machinery dealer in Hugo MN in 2011 for $4000. This is what is known as a "high neck" version; measurement between the table and the bottom of the upper guide is near 24". Blade length is marked inside the cabinet as 20' 4"; catalog specs the blade at 20' 8.5". Overall height of the machine is close to 108"; 2450 lbs. Original Carter wheels (OEM option) and guides. 5HP Direct Drive. There is another example of this machine erroneously posted under Delta: http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=36939
