Purchased in November 2020 for $2630.00 from GSA auction.
Cost for rigger to move from PA to Richmond, VA $640.
Local delivery didn't work out, things happen.
Cost of 3/4 ton Enterprise rental truck with towing capacity for 4 days: $470
Cost of Sunbelt hydraulic lowering trailer for 4 days: $370
Fuel: $60 (entire trip on I95, ~ 220 miles, was an average of <25mph. It was a long day)
Total moving $1,540, just under 1/2 the cost of the lathe. And I still have to move it to WA state.
The order from the District Chief,Cleveland Ordnance District (US Army) is dated 6-30-1952, the entry date is 7-17-1952, and the typed copy has a date of 5-7-53. The order sheet lists metric gears, speeds 25 - 2500, and "The machine requires special packaging and preservation."
Lathe was sold to US Army, Terre Haute Ordnance Depot. I believe the depot closed in 1954. I found a New York Times archive November 20, 1964, dateline WASHINGTON, Nov.19 (AP) —Following is a list made public today by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara of military installations in 33 states that he announced would be closed or reduced:: Storage of machine tools at the defense industrial plant equipment facility at Terre Haute terminated by July, 1966, and this function consolidated at the Defense Supply Agency center in Columbus, Ohio.
The machine was transferred to the Defense Reutilization and Marketing Office (DRMO) 7-9-2019. The DRMO officer I spoke to told me it came from the US Navy, I assume the Naval Support Activity, Mechanicsburg PA. The property transfer document value is $8,155.00. A Document Number Disposal turn-in document (DTID) in a shipping envelope attached to the lathe lists a value of $65,495.00
Conjecture when the lathe actually entered service.
Lathe is wired for 220 per the wiring in the terminal box. Yea!
Taper attachment appears to be complete.
Low Rez, sorry.Shows the chunk out of the bed~2" to the right of the chuck.
Reporting progress may be spotty as I balance packing for two different possibilities.
