Hi.
Joe and I have had a little talk about a drill press in this thread :
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...f-bancroft-co-worcester-ma-wood-lathe-254859/
Now that I have some more info I thought I would start my own.
I wrote an email to the museum where I saw the drill, and the director of was so kind
to answer, with both photos and the story of it.
The museum got in 1990, from a banker, called N.A. C. Jensen, who himself got it in 1930, from a company called Paasch & Larsen, Petersen. They later turned to into a company called Pasilac.
They do not have any further history on it, but have a suspicion, that it was shopmade, maybe as an final exam for an apprentice.
Enjoy the photos, I haven't seen anything like it before.
(When the handle is used, the balls rotate, creating a centrifugal force, forcing the spindle downwards, acting like a automatic feed.
Works like a charm, I used it 20 years ago, on a visit to the museum)
Best regards
Søren
