This machine belongs to Tim Reel, who gave me permission to post the pictures he had sent to me. It's the earliest "Type-IIB" (Dome Top) Kimble lathe known thus far, and establishes the start date (1923) for production of that type, as well as the cut-off (1922) date for the earlier "Type II" (Conehead).
