This does not belong to me.
I spotted this on e--y and did not recognize the OSU cast. I contacted the owner and was told this drill press, as with others, was a project machine manufactured by the Industrial and Systems Engineering students at Ohio State University during the 1970's and early 80's. He also informed me that department also manufactured other types of machines as well. Upon further inquiry I'm told these were mostly project machines but some were actually used where there was a need for that particular tool. With the exception of the motor and belt all parts were manufactured at OSU. I will be talking to the current OSU Dept head who oversees the molding and casting section of that dept to determine what other machines were manufactured and how they may have been used.
The leaf on the right side is a Buckeye leaf.
