Im new to the forum. I need some help with identifying a Richards Horizontal Borer.
The machine I purchased came from the British Motor Corporation (BMC) plant
in Zetland N.S.W (near Sydney). The company was to later become Leyland Australia.
The plant closed, I believe in 1971.
The machine I have only has a BMC Plant identification plate, the original
Richards plaste I assume has been removed. The plate was attached
at the left hand end of the bed plate.
Do the Richards machines have any other places on the machine that
may identify the model and/or any possible web sites that have
data on these machines.

Some pictures and measurements ,particularly of the spindle diameter are your best bet ,Mr Shoelaces will then be able to tell you what you have ,any information you need he will probably know, he will likely be along tomorrow morning.(well later this morning actually,it is now nearly 1 am)
It came with the facing head and a 4 jaw. Its part of a collection I bought
to keep me entertained in my eventual retirement. The plan is to restore
old farm and earthmoving machinery, to keep the hands and the mind active.
