I bought this machine on ebay in Jan 2003. It was in a shop near Philadelphia that was abandoned since the early 1960's. The machine is a little over 9ft long and 3 1/2 ft wide. Approx weight is 2000lbs. In the pics here, I have taken the drive section loose from the main body of the machine. Currently under restoration. Driven by a 15HP induction motor pat 1915 which ran a central line shaft.
