I got this machine from a friend whose father was a photoengraver. After his retirement he evidently missed his Royle router so much that he bought this one from a used machinery dealer in Los Angeles. He used it at home as a hobby. The motor mount is visible at the table edge, although the motor is missing in the photos. I've also started a thread on the OWWM.org site with more pictures and text

The University of Michigan has reprinted a 1918 full line Royle catalog. It's available from online booksellers for about $16. Royle also published a booklet specific to this machine, Royle Booklet 253 I haven't as yet found a copy.
