What kind/style of tool holder is on this ELMCO armature lathe?

Can anybody ID the type/style on the holder in attached pic? This is an old ELMCO test station that has a lathe function.

Looks like a normal lantern style tool post with a Williams forged boring bar tool holder. The tool holder is designed to clamp round boring bars not square turning bits.

Here is one on ebay

One side of the tool holder will have a model number that tells the size and shape. Williams and Armstrong both made forged holders in several sizes and styles. You can see lots of them on eBay. If you want a different style holder, be sure it has the same size shank. Forged holders were made in different types for square shank carbide tip tools and high speed steel tools, so learn which type you want before buying.

Even holders with the same nomenclature can vary in dimensions if they are different vintage. I have a bunch of them,and use them regularly.
