In the first stereo photo, I can see that big Pond drill (Like the one in the catalog), in the middle background - What a beast !

Bethlehem Steel Company, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. 91 inch diameter corrugated ingot in cutting-off lathe. It looks like the parting tool could be 12" tall.
Cool photo! check out the rag tied onto the steady, most likely there to oil the turned diameter that is riding on the steadies pads.Here is the link to the high resolution copy of the cutting-off lathe.

It was the one with the curved frame - I guess the other one was so huge, I didn't even recognize it as such! Either would be too big for my shop, I think :~)If you are talking about the stereo photo in post #178, there are two drills in the photo, both are New York Steam Engine Co. ones.

That would have been a heartbreaker if that was scrapped - The table isn't even scarred up .....Seeing old machines like that in scrap yards reminds me of this:
Not really sensitive. An early screw feed drill.That's a beautiful old drill in that photo - It looks like it's specially made for fine, "sensitive" work, as I don't see a lever or anything for coarse feed, just that geared hand wheel. It seems a big drill, for that sort of work.
