The range of additional fittings that George Adams produced (or factored from Lorch) to compliment their watchmakers' lathes was particularly comprehensive. The lathes were available in basic form, or cased together with various selections of collets and accessories - a WL Geneva-pattern lathe, for example, rose in price from £3 : 10 : 0 to £6 : 6 : 0 when presented in a lockable wooden box containing: a handrest with 2 Tee rests, a single chuck to carry 4 cement plates, a set of 12 wire collets, a single "8-screw" bell chuck, a taper-hole collet with male and female centres, driver plate, emery wheel and mandrel, circular-saw mandrel, guide pulley on eccentric arm, hollow runner No. 34 - complete with its 14 accessories - and two collet-mounted fine centres.

The thin knurled rings at each side of the micrometer dials show that this engraving is of a very early compound-slide assembly for the WL and V1 lathes.

The heavier Compound Slide Rest for the AAA lathe.

High-speed Grinding Head.

Single-roller Filing Rest

Double-roller Filing Rest

Saw Table for fitting into the handrest socket

Lever-action tailstock for WL and V1  Geneva-style lathes
