I'm told that all navy ships of a certain size had Hardinge HLV-H toolroom lathes because the solid dovetail way construction
wouldn't twist with changes in level like a gap bed lathe.

My story? I worked for many years in a room in New York City, which measured 7.5 x 9.5 feet. I had a South Bend 10 K bench lathe,
a Barker horizontal mill, a drill press, a bench vise, a bench grinder, a polishing spindle, a cleaning sink, a wathmakers bench
with WW lathe, storage, testing, everything but the coat closet.
