As a young boy in 1965 I visited a car dealership with my father. I was amazed by some of the incredible innovations that had been added to vehicles. For instance, an AM/FM radio, electrically powered windows, and an automatic transmission were available in the Ford Galaxy 500 soon to be delivered to our driveway. However, those features that impressed me so much then now are as common as tires and a steering wheel.
Similarly, several features of roll forming (and tube mill) equipment that used to be considered options are now standard features, and you should ensure that they are included in the next line you buy.
