Tin Lynn was nearby and took these - many thanks Lynn.
Another Cincinnati make. As of mid thirties, they were at 2009 Eastern Avenue and called themselves the Greaves Machine Tool Company.
This is unusual enough to do something about, so it is coming home to Houston.
Been out too long, but that is okay.
That's a 16" chuck and the outside width of the ways are 19 1/4". It swings a little over 22 1/2" and has ten speeds, forward or reverse, from 8.5 to 300. It is close to 14 feet overall and the catalog says close to 7000 lbs with the extra length. Look close at the photo that shows some of the INSIDE of the front vee way and you'll see GK used two angles there.
The headstock cover swings open like a huge hinge.
Here are Lynn's photos.
