Not an established manufacturer, but the result (almost certainly) of a larger tool merchant (possibly in Wakefield, a small town to the north of Sheffield) commissioning the Portass Lathe Company in Sheffield to build them a batch of lathes. Portass was also kept busy supplying machines for other retailers to re-badge as their own and examples have been found marked: Altona, A.T.M., B.I.L., Bond's Maximus, "Eclipse" (for the Sheffield hand-tool makers James Neil & Sons) Excell, G.A. (George Adams), Gamages , Graves, James Grose Ltd. of London (the latter chiselling off the Portass name and substituting their own badge), Juniper, Randa, Temmah, Woolner and Zyto, All appear to have been based on established Portass models, nearly always the venerable "S Type", although in every case some small differences, usually down to cost-cutting, can be found. 
It is also though that some Grayson and Ideal lathes may also have been sold using the Wakefield name - and it is entirely possibly (though on has never been seen) that some Zyto models may also have been marketed.
