Comments:

This lathe is shown awaiting removal and scrapping in 2013. It would most likely have been installed in the late 1920s.

Length over bed would have been in the region of 14' (I can't find a catalogue cut to confirm this).

Note that both headstocks as enclosed in sheetmetal cases - these would almost certainly have originially been powered by flatbelts from a lineshaft mounted off the ceiling, then later repowered by individual electric motors (probably ~ 1960s).

This machine was located in New Zealand
