I have Atlas bulletins on live centers and chucks dated March 1948 and December 1948, respectively, in an envelope post stamped September 4, 1947 from Barrett Hardware Company, Joliet Illinois. I have the original lathe operations manual as well. I purchased this machine from the nephew of the original owner. They both operated this machine through the '50's manufacturing U-bolts. Original condition.
