Readco mostly made Bakery Equipment, some small and also very large machines

This is where dad worked for over thirty years.

Dad worked as a machinist cutting beveled internal (transmission gears)

Richmond W. Flinchbaugh worked as an apprentice at American Chain and Foundry before WWII. He worked in the Pattern Making Department. Then he went to ReadStandard Machinery - then changed to Readco

This information from Arthur B. Flinchbaugh - my brother

Some tools of the trade, very much like my Dad used in this shop

Just like all modern shops, the work was latter done on CNC machines
