All, I have recently purchased a H. Broadbent (of Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire) lathe, with a rather interesting treble geared headstock. The overall length of the lathe is 7' and I haven't yet measured the centre height or between centres but the largest diameter piece can be up to 22" diameter thanks to the treble geared faceplate. Something I had not seen before, however, an identical, if not slightly larger one had been posted by Tillage a couple of years back. So there are two at least. Interesting to see especially on such a small lathe. It needs work but had to be saved as I think could prove quite useful.
Also, thanks to Asquith, note the exceptionally course thread on the leadscrew and the mistake on the thread chart - the same wheels make a 1 and 2 tpi so something must be miscalculated there. I will add a picture below of this.
Thanks
