There is a Lathe ON E-BAY at the moment which is a 1940 war effort piece.

Still fitted with a brass plate stating:

"THIS EQUIPMENT
IS THE PROPERTY OF
MINISTRY OF MUNITIONS
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA"

An essential item, I would think, to make the most authentic reproduction 25pdr projectiles!

The spindle speeds are rather slow with very low top speed . Looks like it has plain spindle bearings too, not ideal . Mike
