Is the CNC mill that HacDC had on loan from the Smithsonian Institution still there, or did they send it back?

Good to hear it's still there.
Doubt records survive but a person can look on the wiki I guess.
I'm also not sure who facilitated the loan (and my knowledge of it is word-of-mouth, but I distinctly recall the wording was consistently of a "loan," with the epistemological caveats that go with that). If one wanted to get a more definitive idea & no written record survives -- there was a guy called "Toast" who was a member and I believe ended up working for Smithsonian, I do not remember in what capacity.
Certainly as an institution, if it is a loan Smithsonian does not seem to have been interested in checking up.
