Hi All. I have heard this machine was used in a blacksmiths shop in the 1910 to 1920's to cold roll the steel rims used on wooden carriage wheels. The drive is in question, it could be hand driven or flat belt. Is it possible to get photo's or drawings of a complete machine. Thanks in advance Bruce Elsegood, Sydney Australia.
