1K62 lathe built by the Red Proletarian machine tool plant in Moscow

seems to me like a well featured and built machine

 

[Lucky7]

Built like a brick shithouse? As my Saskatoon born Mom would say.

Built like a womens Russian shot put champion, as my dear old granny would say.

True story.....
My son was a competitive swimmer. His team were in Barcelona for a training session and my son had just done 5 rep's bench press at his maximum limit. The Russian olympic team was also there and a young Russian woman walked into the weight room and over to the same machine my son just got up from, she looked at the weight setting, gave an affirmative nod and proceeded to do about 20 reps in fast succession.
