Comments:

I'm not at liberty to say where this drill press is. Sufficient to say it's in the lower half of the North Island of New Zealand.

This is one of two "Progress" drill press at the plant.

With the 1/2 h.p. motor and five-step pulleys, the press has speeds from 340 to 2580 r.p.m.

The switchgear on this machine is a good olde fashioned MEM contactor - as originally found on many old English machines.
