The Navy had a bunch of Monarchs and LeBlonds on the 2 ships I was on. Both were WWII ships and the equipment in the machine shop was probably original from when they were built. Lot of young kids straight out of machine shop school running them for 30 years so they didn't have easy lives. But working on nuclear subs required some pretty close tolerances - often in tenths. We did do frequent maintenance on them, kept them spotless clean and prettyfied such that you would have thought they were rarely used. But we did use them and used them hard every day. Those old Monarchs were still very much up to the task. I would love to have one but about 15" swing by 5' though.
