This short-lived company produced the Monitor Nine bench engine lathe. Classified ads for the lathe appeared in Popular Mechanics between Feb. and Aug., 1922. No street address was given for the company. Detailed information on the lathe is at Tony Griffith's lathes site. The company's small expenditure for advertising suggests that they were under-capitalized, perhaps a result of the deflationary depression of 1920-21.
