I do knot recall the brand, but my grandfather had a RAS that came mounted on a two wheel trailer. You could tow it to the job site behind your truck and use it right on the trailer.

Many RAS went to work that way. I can remember seeing them from time to time in the late 50's-60's.
I think most RAS are now built for commercial applications and I think CNC machines and other tools are quickly replacing them.

Pinkie, not sure if anyone has sent this www. But this site is a good source of information about old tools. May give you information you can’t find and you can’t talk to the owners for more information. Good luck.
