For this heavier style of Watchmaker's lathe the increase in centre height from 1.968" to 2.375" brought an entirely different set of more robust headstock and tailstock castings, a longer standard bed, a range of slightly larger, strengthened accessories and a japanned finish  - but no unfortunately no increase in the size of collets that could be used .

George Adams Model AAA enlarged-pattern WW-type lathe with a 23/8" centre-height and standard 16" bed.

George Adams AAA 23/8" centre-height watchmaker's lathe complete with a rather ugly and out-of-proportion 17/8" wide gap that allowed work up to 8" in diameter to be swung.  Mounted on the lathe are a variety of accessories: lever and screw-feed tailstocks, 3-jaw chuck, compound slide, hand rest with short T,  large dividing plate and pointer, vertical slide and a high-speed spindle.
