Comments:

Purchased from a fellow here is So Cal, who bought it from the Northrop Aircraft pattern shop, where they cut only aluminum.

The direct drive motor is a 3 HP, 3 PH unit that turns 875 RPM.

Thanks for Jeff McVey for some scans of a similar machine from around 1957. His scans were of the belt drive machine. Mine is direct drive.
