Just viewed latest M E W and was happy that the main feature on front page is “Drive to saddle of a Super 7”

Is there not a differance between the 7 and the Super 7 ?

I wondered if the Editor needs to go on a Myford recognition course.

MEW No 224 shows Roderick Jenkins and his Super 7 and text "Roderick Jenkins and his ML7", while No 225 shows an ML7 and text of "Power feed for a Super 7" (or similar words).

OMG.!!!!!!!

How can ANYBODY not know their Myfords by heart. It's a disgrace.!!!

Perhaps editors should be have a recognition chart on their bedroom walls to learn and chant each night before they go to sleep as a requirement for the job similar to schoolboys or yesteryear. e.g. below but of lathes.

Perhaps there could be a free 'pull out' in a future issue.?

Don't think we need a chart- Myfords are blue, I saw one once.

You are wrong Gordon.. I have a brown one.

(The chart is a good idea though. I have had mine for twenty years still not sure what it is. )

Heretics.

All the posters names have been noted and due action will be taken in the near future.

I woefully regret the day that Reader Digest finished as it was sooo easy to sign some poor unsuspecting Heretic to a lifetime of misery and expense trying to get the subscription cancelled.

Leave it with me, I'm still thinking.

Even Myford don't know the difference, – the ML7B looks more like a S7 rather than an ML7 to me…

What about audio. – Do Myfords make a distinctive sound. Can you hear them coming.?

I thought they all stood silent in the workshop while the owner sat in the armchair

Sorry, don't understand this thread. Why would anyone care when they can just power up their nice Boxford.

With the amount of threads on the subject of Myford motors you may have a valid point.
