34" throat 36" bandwheels with wood rim and rubber tire. Table is 27" X 34" and is 40-1/2" off of floor. Drive pulley is 24-1/2" in diameter 3-5/8" wide with wood spokes and rim. There is a riveted on Brass dealer tag "A.J.KIRKWOOD & CO. CHICAGO ILL." Research shows the company was in business under that name from 1858 to at least 1891. The name cast in the upper arm is "AIL BUMILLER & C?LICKE". I had crude wooden guards installed at some point. I weighs 1240 pounds. I think originally belt driven and retrofitted with and ancient 2 h.p 3 phase motor. Original guides retrofitted with Paddock guides patented in 1936.Pat.#2152906
