Comments:

This machine is currently listed for sale online (December 2020). It is located in SW Ontario, an hour or so north of where it was built. As there are no other examples of this manufacturer shown in the database I have posted it up. I do not own this machine or have any connection with the current owner.

The machine was originally lineshaft-driven, before being converted over to electric power at a later point with the overhead drive assembly added.

[ADMIN NOTE JAJ: Edited "date manufactured", which was originally "WWI era"; as best we know, this maker disappeared in 1905. Furthermore, the lathe does not have a quick-change gearbox which was pretty much standard by the beginning of WWI.]
