By 1886 M. C. Henley of Richmond, Ind., was making a wall- or ceiling-mounted power boring, drilling and screw-driving machine. In 1890, apparently, it was renamed to Henley Machine Tool Works and took over the pulley lathe business of the Richmond City Mill Works.
Henley continued making portable drilling machines and Shellenback Patent Pulley Lathes until 1895.
