Posting to show the unusual Atlas radial drill head. The machine was purchased just outside of Syracuse, NY. The seller didn't have any specific machine history, the building where I purchased the press was once an ice storage house for a large estate. A PO sacrificed a foot feed to install/use the head. Note the safety collars used are two collars used with a foot feed set up,the bottom pivot bracket is still there.
