I have posted this upon another forum. But I know there are many on here that are not upon both. I particular the last image where some help is required as I know this site has a high percentage of American users. (and that is where the machine came from)

Visited my mates workshop to enable me to broach a keyway into a flywheel hub.
While I was there I took a few snaps of some of his more unusual machines that were once a fixture of every jobbing engineering works in addition to the usual lathes, capstans and mills he has.
But most of the pics are from a corner where he has stashed a collection of old static engines. - He plans someday (he has been saying someday for the last 25 years) to restore them. - I thought they may be of some general interest especially to those builders of model static engines.
Slotter
Scrap. ......... Lots of this EVERYWHERE.!!!
Drill bank of drill, chamfer and tapping head.
Engines :-
Lastly. He has recently purchased this mill. Looks a very sturdy and well made machine that had not had a hard life. But has no technical information upon it. He really needs to know what grade of oil the gearboxs require. I said I would ask here if anyone had access to such information.
Hope these are if interest so some of the members here.
