24" Parks planer. Photos lifted from an auction website. I have never seen this model in any publication or anywhere on the internet. Has an Army Corps plate riveted to it.

Clearly it is based on the Parks No.20, but there appears to be 2 major differences.
1. The motor is mounted direct drive to the cutter-head unlike the No.20
2. The feed rate transmission has 4 gears instead of 2
