Comments:

I obtained the lathe in a trade for a set of mechanics tool chests. The ways full length are 42 inches with everything stripped off. I have seen other Atlas lathes with the "way wipers" on them however this one lacks the way wipers completely; not even a hole for the screw on where the wiper would go. What year did Atlas start putting the wipers on? After the 1930's?
