This is the TRA-11A Overarm Router produced by The R.L. Carter division of The Stanley Works in New Britain Conn.
According to the manufacturer badge this machine was originally outfitted with a 110V electric motor. When acquired the original equipment motor had been replaced with an Onsrud Machine Works, Inc. pneumatic turbine motor.
Other information on the Onsrud motor ID plate: No. 11782 / Type H32G
The motor operates at 22,000 RPM and is rated at 100 PSI.

This router has been part of the equipment inventory in the pattern shop of our family business since the mid 1960's. An additional badge on the machine may hint at it being previously owned by " Narmco, Inc. (No 33)"

This edit corrects a previous "mislabel" were this unit was listed under Onsrud Machine Works, Inc. as the manufacturer.
