Description: "A modern mechanic's lathe, has very different demands made upon it. For this the greatest possible steadiness in all the working parts is the main desideratum, and it is of great advantage to have the means of obtaining a slow speed, so as to be able to take the heaviest cuts which its strength and the power available to warrant." —The Encyclopedia Britannica, 1910
