Hello All,
I recently acquired a Pratt & Whitney Model C 14x30 lathe from an auction, but the model number doesn't match information I have found for other model C lathes. The tag on the ways says "14in Lathe Model C", then below that is an M followed by 1457-850. The other models I have found info for are M-1694 and M-1696, but nothing on the M-1457.
Long story short, I guess, are there any major differences between the M-16xx models and the M-1457 I have? Also, does anyone have an idea on what year this thing might have been made?
Thank you,
Ross
