One of the Machines in the school I worked at was a Horizontal Mill, it was being worked on at the time the previous head of dept left. The remaining bits are probably burried in the grass around the workshops or used as missiles to throw through the school windows, the only parts remaining where the bits too heavy to lift and the parts bolted to the floor!

That was a pretty bad school though, I once found a couple of centre punches that had been bent 90 degrees by being wedged in a lathe tool post and hammered...

...Luckily any accessories where locked away though!
