Comments:

For decades before 1905 this co made lathes with the counter shaft mounted above the lathe, eather on the ceiling or the wall. Only this the 2905 model was the counter shaft mounted directly on wider legs and towers on the lathe. Starting in 1906 all there lathes came with electric motors. Making the 1905 one of a kind.
