Hendey lathe 18442, an 18x10 Cone Head model, was scheduled for completion during the last week of March 1917. It would have a Morse
Taper #4 and a Double Walled Apron. The original owner was the Western Condensing company, San Francisco, California. There are no
longer any Patterns, Castings or Repair Parts left in inventory for this lathe, but all of the original drawings are still in the files, so, parts can be made as required. I did receive your PM, thank you. If I can be of further help, contact me directly at:
