It didn't leave the factory in this colour - some original grey is seen in the (separate) shot of the counter-shaft, along with sixty year old oil stains and crud. The lathe was built in late 1939 or early 1940. It's a standard model of the Heavy 10, with a 3 ft bed, swinging 10 inch diameter work in front of the saddle, and taking lengths up to about 15 inches (depending on chuck) or about 18 inches between centres, and swings almost 6 inches diameter over the saddle. Home made trays below the main base and legs catch inevitable oil drips, otherwise everything seems to be standard - except the colour !
