They certainly make a SIMILAR product. I TRIED to cross some
Bijur parts with parts from Trico, because MSC carried it. BUT, I
ended up with a big mess, and had to buy the proper parts from
Bijur, once I had figured out that's who actually made the components
I had. I should have just called Bijur in the first place. I suspect the
tubing is interchangable, but the metering orifices and all the threads
on the manifold appeared to be different, and incompatible.

This was on a Sheldon lathe made about 1972, not a Bridgeport. But,
I think it is pretty much identical to the system used on the Bridgeports.
