I have a WW1 catalogue which includes lathes 30 ft between centres and a myriad other glorious machines. Without guards can see how each works. Seems once capable Brits now struggle to muster a firm which can make simple Seven cranks.
Bob, for a list of interesting machine tools, British and otherwise, there are few listed here with details http://www.lathes.co.uk/page21.html
For the perfect workshop, all you need is one of each....
