Comments:
This power unit was included with the Fay & Scott Patternmaker's Lathe I purchased in 2007. Based on the copyright information on the electricals and the type of motor, I believe it dates from the early fifties. This appears to be a complete unit, manufactured by Turner Unidrive for the conversion of line driven, flat belt machinery.
