Nice example of the locomotive-style P-C Take-About belt sander made from 1947-1951. These are massive machines, until you see one you can't comprehend just how big they are. Mine is missing the dust bag, would be rough using without one. Fortunately I discovered I have a hose that fits perfectly and will connect it to my dust collector. Serial number on this and others I've seen is just the letter C, no clue why.
