Can't tell what brand of lathes they are from the photos, but can tell that they are fossils, even though it was 1953.
The first photo has a good shot of the ubiquitous Lima motor drive we see so often on cone-pulley machines. I have three of the damned things, one mounted on my late 'teens Cincinnati Lathe and Tool 16" lathe, another exactly like it on the Gooley-Edlund mill, and a more modern version from the WWII era on the Bliss punch press. Things are about bullet proof. Read somewhere the gear box was essentially a Model A tranny. Whatever the provenance of the gear box, those units are dead quiet in operation. Both the Cincy lathe and mill only emit the soft whine of the electric motor, and the "flup-flup" sound of the leather belt.
Some of the older Lima units had a metal hand wheel, while most were of Bakelite. I think the Gooley-Edlund has a metal one, whilst the Cincy is Bakelite. Very often the wheel is broken on the phenolic version when found nowadays.
