Comments:
More history to come later, just wanted to get the pictures loaded. More than just a saw for lead type, this machine also includes a jigsaw, rotary planer, plunge router, and grindstone. Currently owned by Walter Clement and used in his print shop. Purchased in the 1980's from Sewanee (The University of the South, Property control number 03793). I will also post scans of the original bill of sale, exploded parts diagram, parts and supply bulletin, and operating manual. All courtesy of Walter Clement who saved this machine and it's associated ephemera.
