Wheels
I found these pics in the GM-H collection which is held by the Sth Australian state library.
1941: Looks like the manufacturing of the 18 inch divided rims ? The large drill press is a 'camel back' model, it is fitted with a recirculating cutting fluid pump. The vertical lathe appears to be profiling or sizing the edge of the rims. They must have used a very large press in order to stamp the rims. Ford Aust. also manufactured 18 inch army rims. I've noticed that a few different styles of these rims were used, the design evolved. The Australian Army went against the grain when they chose to use the odd sized 18" wheels.
