Hi Everyone,
Just a quick update, I finally got the correct serial number on
the SB lathe and LeBlond lathes have replied as follows:
1. Serial Number: 119990
2. Catalog Number: 113-C
3. Size: 13"X6'
4. 1HP; 400V/3PH/50CY
5. 1425 RPM
6. Ship Date: November 17, 1941
7. Originally sold to the U.S. War Department in Chicago, Illinois.
It's always nice to get this kind of information. That electric
motor was obviously changed to 220 v single phase when it got to South
Africa. I wonder how it ended up in a newspaper toolroom in South Africa -
probably "War surplus".
Keep the revs up (or down)
