An unusual design of drill - able to be tilted to drill a hole at an angle, and with a capacity between the headstock and tailstock of 16 inches. How the workpiece was held down is not clear …..

A Stark No. 3 Bench Lathe equipped as a rather large watchmaker's lathe with a "Universal Pump Centre" and Jewelling Tool.
Stark advised that the Pump Centre was used for: "
uprighting all kinds of Train Movements, such as Chronometers, Water and Gas Meters and all Electrical Trains constructed for Electricians", whilst the jewelling tool was for: "setting Lenses in Transit Instruments or setting Jewels in Chronometers or other train holes".
Several large cut-aways in the "faceplate" allowed the operator to see the work from behind as it rotated.

The No. 3 Lathe, with a screw-feed compound slide rest, on the maker's wonderful "Foot Power Attachment" - a treadle-equipped stand. On most other makes the flywheel assembly would have run on a simple, unsupported stud; on the Stark the outside of the stud is supported by a complex X-shaped structure bolted in four places to the top and bottom of the left-hand leg.
