Zyto Model F 15/8" x 6"  - in reality a Sheffield-built Flexispeed

The "Baby Zyto"  (2.125" centre height by 10" between centres) was an attempt to produce a really simple little lathe but, during the 1920s and 1930s, it was in competition with many others and, despite costing only £2: 7 : 6 against the £8 : 2 : 6 of its bigger brother,  few can have been sold and today is a very rare find. The lathe was manufactured in Sheffield by Portass.
