Is there letters in the recess close to the top? Or how about on the chart in the middle.

 

[Jonnhyc]

not only are there small oval plates with the inscription
IMP 21

According to this S&S distributed Hendy machines early in their history.
Your mill reminds me of an old line-shaft/converted to Lima drive Rockford I used many years ago.

Its OLD- You can see it is antique with the flat belt drive to the spindle "cone pulley"

Antique mills GO SLOW. Its the nature of the beast. When I say SLOW, I am guessing maximum spindle speed is around 400 Revs - in line with USA products of the time

It would be normal for it to have PLAIN spindle bearings - Bronze or Babbitt - not ball or roller bearings capable of higher speeds

Here's you an example from 1926 of a cone pulley driven #4 Cincinnati milling machine - plainly legible is the 350 top speed
