Thanks Mike I will be patient..... maybe
I have owned a copy of Armed and ready. Industrial development and Defence of Australia, 1900-1945 since it was published and I remember reading the trials and tribulations of trying to get enough machine tools during wartime.
Hence my query about that old English lathe.
Matt that plate looks awesome.... dammm something else I have to find.
