The catalog number is more likely CL8155C, this would be a Tool room lathe, HKX with hard bed. The 155 was a 12 speed, the 117
was an 8 speed.
Nice info, thank you.

Yes, you are correct, It's a Workshop No 15, not a model C.
Still a Workshop 9 inch Standard Change Gear lathe, just has a top oiling headstock and few other minor differences.
it's a 1935 Model

Read these pages to see the differences between the 405(No 5), and the 415(No 15) These two preceeded the Model C released in 1938.

I would really check the motor plates and confirm the southern Island power, it should be 60hz, but don't take my word for it if you are still over there.
The northern part of the mainland was 50hz and southern is like the USA, 60hz.
The general later year 13's had motors in 1hp, 1-1/2hp, and dual voltage motors of 1-1/2hp-3/4hp, and 2hp-1hp.

If there is any question on the motor and it'is 60hz, I'd use a 3ph 2hp with VFD.

I own three Southbend Lathes
First is a 16 X ?? S/N ??
Purchased new in 1941 by the Goodyear Aircraft co. Still retains their badging plus the owners after Goodyear, Lockheed Martin and Loral. it has virtually every accessory known to man.
second is a 9 X 36 S/N 105474 I think it was built in the early 40's
Third is a 9 X 42 S/N 57668 NAX I am not sure of the build date. This unit has a four step vee belt drive and a two step motor/jack shaft drive, it is a basket casebut most seems to be there or in the boxes.

Well, the last one with the V-belt drive dates to 1969, that's a pretty late Workshop 9A.
The 9 x 3 is a 1940 war baby.
I would need a serial number on the 16 to record it.
Thanks for the info,
Steve

took me a while but I came to a similar conclusion 34/35 for a year OG plate is missing I have two replacements that came with it it also came with metric gears and standard gears , as it sits now I just need to clean the drive , replace the thrust bearing, and some more little stuff that can be done as it goes back togather
