Mid 50's Walker Turner 4 gang drill press. Only 3 heads pictured but the seller included the 4th head.
Previous owner said it came from FMC in Santa Clara CA. when they closed (the purchase location less than a half mile from the old FMC plant).
After further research and help for a former employee, this machine was housed at FMC plant 5 on Coleman Rd. The gang drill was used second op next to a Ferguson multiple operation machine.
The former employee also noted that most machines in that building were older and many WWII era.
