Comments:

This lathe belongs to a friend of mine, it was given to him but he has no idea of it's origins. Someone has removed the original belt drive and replaced it with pulleys. I believe the Niles-Bement-Pond tag is from a dealer of machinery, has anyone heard of them? This lathe is listed in a 1924 brochure of the company and the dating is approximate.
