Machine Information
Serial Number: 22350 NCR9
Machine Type: Lathe
Machine Description: South Bend 415 RC Lathe 9" x 4 1/2
Owner: Joe Mundschau
Manufacture Date: before 11/1951
Notes: My grandfather's metal lathe, purchased by him 11/21/ 1951 from W.A. Voell Machinery (possibly from their shop in Waukesha WI). Grandpa Joe was a machinist and mechanic in the Ocomomowoc area of Wisconsin. He was the mechanic for the Oconomowoc Fire Department. He passed in 1962, and his son James took the lathe but ended up putting it into storage rather than using it.
