I hope this is under the correct manufacturer - there can't be more than one Pollock & MacNab, although this one was in Mancester, England, not Glasgow, Scotland.

This lathe is located at the Hayes Engineering Works museum near Oturehua, in Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand.

According to their website: "The workshop – with its labyrinth of overhead shafts, belts and pulleys driving various lathes, drills and saws – was previously powered by windmill and then a water Pelton wheel, but now runs on an electric motor. Offering fascinating insight into how things were created back then, the machinery is brought to life with lively commentary on four scheduled Operating Days and many other times throughout the summer."
