Milling Demonstration Sample
notes: label: Description
content: This milling demonstration sample was owned by Eugene B. Johnson (October 18, 1915 - November 22, 2007), who worked for over fifty years in the tool and die manufacturing field. Spending much of his career as a salesman for the National Sales Engineering Corporation, Johnson rose to become the company's vice president by the time of his retirement. Milling machines precisely cut material away from a surface; this demonstration sample, likely used as a sales tool to show prospective customers, has had various patterns cut into it by the milling machine.
