Reminds me of starting out in a machine shop. Some of the machines I ran weren't much newer than that lathe but had electric motors with the flat belts.

I started in 1948 after school, until 1950 and we had the same...I ran a South Bend Heavy 10......but there was still another shop in town that had all flat belt line shaft drive and I visited it a few times..I remember the whole wooden building shaking as the machines were running...I have a South Bend 9A now and it has "V" belt drive, which is unusual...most were flat.

If I ever get down your way I am bringing a trailer and wait until you leave for a few days and leave a note telling you one of the other guys were there.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
