Subject: [CR]First machine built wheels

I have read that machines used to build wheels are expensive, but machine built can be, if properly used and set up, just almost as good as hand built. From my own experience I would tend to trust the hands of a seasoned expert though. When did these machines come into being, and did they find acceptance in the world of quality lightweight bikes during the say 70's and 80's?
