Boxford  Mk 2  (5" centre height) compound slide rest assembly.
Later Boxfords had the top slide travel extended by 3/8" with the swivelling graduations inscribed on a plastic ring inserted into the cross slide.  Although fitted as standard on these lathes the useful Dickson quick-set tool holder could be deleted and a cheaper "American" or clog-heel toolpost chosen instead.
