Catillus Machinator

CATILLUS MACHINATOR

What kind of a company name is this, you might ask? Incidentally, the ancient Romans had a cone mill with some distinct similarities to a modern cone crusher. What is also interesting,in these cone mills, the outer cone was called "bowl", just like we call the outer conical machine part "bowl" and the liner is called "bowl liner". Bowl translates into Latin as "catillus" and "engineer" or "designer" or "inventor" translates as "machinator". So this is how I came up with this name: Catillus Machinator.
