Comments:

The various catalogs on this website show similar machines from the 1920's but nothing matches exactly. I bought this one in 1981. The 3phase electrics were not functional so I removed the motor windings and machined an outboard shaft to run it on a 1/3HP motor, v belt driven. It's worked quite well for over 20 years.
