Ready for dispatch. A particularly interesting picture that can be dated to 1934 showing around one hundred and forty four Model 405 lathes - the very first but short-lived version of the well-known and very popular 9-inch "Workshop" series. |

A row of 25 lathes (at the time the standard build batch) under assembly. These are 9-inch "Workshop" machines each with a build sheet hanging from the tailstock end of its bed. Although the room would have been cleaned and tidied for the photograph it is still possible to spot backgear covers on the floor and, on the nearest lathe, a spring-bottom oil can. |
