Which is why I asked what it was to fit.....

Have replied off-list to your direct email.

We have four ward Capstan lathes which all have rear toolposts for
parting off, the main idea being that they don't lift the headstock
shaft when cutting metal as they are on the other side of the job
compared with the normal turning tool.

We just bought a job lot of ward 2C stuff on ebay from a company that
was closing, got two chucks, a lot of collets and more tooling.
