Although from the illustration it might be thought that the "Univertical" was a floor-standing machine, it was actually small enough - just 37 inches high and with an 11 inch by 18 inch base - to be bench mounted, and was advertised as such by its makers, J.D.Duffy & Son of Detroit. Founded in 1938 the Univertical company still exists, making state-of-the-art anodes and chemicals for the plating industry, but how and why they moved (for a time) into production of this rather specialised machine-tool is, as yet, unknown.
The miller was powered by a 1/4 hp motor was mounted on what can only be described as a minimalist structure: a single bar, spigoted into an adjustable  bracket wrapped around the upper part of the head, passed through a casting bolted to the side of the motor; 4 rather fast speeds were provided spanning 850 to 3400 rpm. The spindle ran in 1-inch diameter ball bearings, arranged to take both axial and radial loads, but had no form of feed, all alterations to the depth of cut being made by adjusting the height of the screw-elevated knee. The "throat" of the machine, the distance from the centre of the cutter to the inside face of the column, was 6.5 inches.
The  table, with 2 T slots and measuring 4.875" x 24" - unusually long for such a small machine - had a very useful 17 inches of longitudinal travel - and a remarkable 7 inches of cross movement; the knee could be raised through a  distance of 10 inches. One hopes that the three gib-strip adjustment screws provided on the saddle were enough to support the table against heavier cuts, and to allow a proper adjustment to be made to the fit of the table within the guiding Vees.
The machine weighed 350 lbs and cost, in the early 1950s, $495 complete with motor.
