Stand No. 131a . Based on the ordinary stand No. 131 this unit was 2300 mm long and 700 mm wide. The full-length lino-covered wooden top was supported at the right-hand side by a wooden cabinet with drawers and a cupboard. A rear-mounting for the motor allowed it to drive both lathe spindle and the overhead drive unit No. 66

Above and below: Stand No. 131 was specially built to provide a rear-mounting to house the motor that powered both the lathe and the overhead drive unit No. 66. The motor and other electrical equipment were as for stand 130 but the main countershaft was modified to incorporate a pivot point at its mid-section to provide a means of tensioning the main drive belt

Lathe Stand No. 130. This was usually supplied complete with a 2-speed 0.5/0.75 h.p. 700/1400 r.p.m. motor that gave, in conjunction with the epicyclic backgeared headstock, 16 speeds from 130 to 1700 r.p.m. The stand, 1100 x 500 mm,  was built from cast iron with a lino-covered wooden top. Foot-pedals were fitted to operate the forward/reverse control with a handle to switch on/off and between the high and low speed ranges

Stand No. 131

Stand No 132 . Built with the same base section as the  131 stand this version was fitted with a cast-iron coolant tray for production work

Stand 133 with coolant tray and a modified front that allowed the operator to work seated

This was a special stand and lathe combination that, other than being described as Turret lathe on stand with motor drive and variable speed unit, lacked a maker's designation. Only the cut-ff slide No. 23 and the turret No. 34 were drawn from the normal accessory range, everything else was unique to the model. In order to provide the utmost rigidity and vibration absorption the stand and chip tray were formed in one piece from cast iron. Totally enclosed, the drive system consisted of a single-speed 1400 r.p.m. motor driving an expanding and contracting variable-speed unit with final drive to the headstock spindle by flat belt.
The machine was available in two forms: as shown above - for the operator to be seated - and below when standing (with the addition of foot-pedal control of electrical reverse)
