Hello again,
I am in need of a little historical information again.
Some time ago, I was looking for info on an old P&W lathe. Drycreek mentioned the fact that there may be some good stuff hidden around the lathe. Well, here is one of the survivors:
Anyone seen one like this? I don't know the manufacturer. The only marking is USA cast into the body near the spindle nose.
The button near the top locks the drawbar to loosen or tighten the collet. The crank on top is the downfeed, and it has an automatic downfeed also.
Here's a pic of the collet with an R-8 beside it:
