This double-backgeared engine lathe, with quick-change screwcutting gearbox and headstock-mounted motor was offered with swings of 18", 20", 24", 28", 32", 36", 42" and 48".
Spindle speeds were on the conservative side, with the smaller models allowed to span 9 to 392 rpm and the larger either 3 to 270 rpm or 2 to 222 rpm.
For 1902 this was a relatively advanced lathe, and the headstock-mounted variable-speed drive motor freed the customer from the tyranny of having to couple up his new machine to a labyrinth of overhead line shafting and arrange suitable belt-striking rods and couplings. Just how quietly the machine ran, with a small spur gear on the end of the motor shaft coupled to a double backgear reduction arrangement, may be safely left to conjecture.
An interesting feature was the small handwheel, mounted outboard of the motor spindle, designed to let the operator turn the spindle by hand
