On Bridgeport machines, there is generally a serial number on the head and
knee. The heads are often swapped on older machines that have been rebuilt.
The knee serial number is usually on the top of the knee, between the Y axis
ways, when the sliding chip guard is pushed back. The numbers are sequential,
so if you have a point of reference, you can easily guess it within 5 years.
