NOTE: JOHN BERTRAM & Sons, Ontario, built larger, heavy-duty and precise
machine tools until the 1960's. Parts are still available.  Many major American machine
tool names of the mid-twentieth century were also built in Canada, and in many Bertram
versions, they were IMPROVED on the original design.  Examples are Niles-Bertram,
Cincinnati-Bertram & Acme-Bertram etc.  In MOST CASES, the BERTRAM version
was better built, often because the improvements were not yet incorporated into the
original American design.
