Fixed that for you 
We would use milling for a couple important functions: boring holes for press-fit bearings, slotting mounting holes to tension chains, cutting key-ways in motor shafts on motors (that are no longer in the KOP), making custom gearboxes/transmissions in the days before they were available OTS, etc.
