Comments:

I saved this machine from a scrap pile in a boat yard where I was carrying out some electrical work. The old chap who runs the yard was pleased to give it to me so it will be used again.
The boatyard bought it second hand from a railway carriage builder in London in the 1970s.
It is three phase (UK 400v) and at present it is in restored.
