I have come across an interesting old girl, A Lathe made by Cunliffe & Croom Ltd who operated from 1897 until 1964.
She is old but well made and should let me do some small fabrication.
Has anyone ever driven any old school machinery?
She is from the time when you had a steam engine or water race to drive a system of drive shafts above your workshop.Someone has taken off the original drive pully, The one it has fitted is a modern cast aluminum instead of the flat belt and pulley used in the 1800's.
I would love to find a home where I could install such a system but for now, I need to find the best way to mount an electric alternative.
Regards
Justin
