- The March 1910 issue of Machinery had the following news item.
Friction-driven Sensitive Drill Press: Barry & Zecher Co., Lancaster, Pa. This machine may be driven direct from the countershaft, as the necessary speed variations are obtained through a friction disk drive. By means of a treadle at the base, the drill is started or stopped by disengaging the friction disk, while a second treadle controls the position of the driver on the friction disk and consequently the speed of the spindle. Speed changes can be made while the machine is in motion and the available speed variations for the spindle range from 250 to 1800 revolutions per minute. The drill has a capacity for holes up to 9/16 inch in diameter. The maximum distance from the spindle to the table is 36 inches, and from the center of the spindle to the column, 13 inches.
