Rockwell label wrong mounted wrong way?

Why is the label on my circa 1975 Rockwell 6x48 belt sander mounted upside-down? Am I missing something? Its attached with small rivets.


That's the Australian model, the label's not upside down, you are.

It's a floor sander.

Awesome - you have a collectors item! ebayebayherewecome:)

You're not holding the belt sander upside down are you? The side with the sander should be pointing down. :)

Wow, so do I have a defect? How come you all are making fun of me??!!? :)

I posted a pic in A.B.P.W. - have a look!

Put a pic of my downdraft table too! Can anyone identify the wood? I'm not sure.

Nobody ever meant to make it personal. :-)

No malice intended, just some harmless ribbing.

So, the picture is over in the binaries group (sander and downdraft pics = subject) Anyone know why its up-side-down??

The truth? During the mid/late 70's Rockwell International was having some real quality control problems.
