A beautifully restored Childs vertical ram-type milling machine. This was of unusual design for so small a machine with all the major parts made from rectangular castings. The vertical column was off-set to the right of the table's lateral centre line - giving a rather unbalanced appearance - with the "knee" sliding up and down the left-hand face under the control of a vertical screw.
