WEBFrom 1938, to 1950, the 995 price on the Bridgeport mill held steady, as did the design of the 1 /2hp BHM mill. (In 1950, the price increased to 1,115. An improved head with a 1hp motor replaced the original standard head in 1954.) Bridgeport's volume production enabled the company to keep its production costs and prices low.
