According to discussion on the dot org this was built by Parks. It appears in the 1925 Sears & Roebuck catalog described as "New Rapid Upright Hollow Chisel Mortising and Boring Machine" showing direct drive motor to shaft. The 1930 catalog shows belt driven with the motor mounted side-saddle. The belt driven here has the motor mounted to the rear. I didn't search through the files enough to see exactly how many years this machine was built. Anyone else know?
