Here is a page from South Bend that estimates the starting serial
numbers by year. Provided by Robert Lang.
|
The serial number is
stamped on the tailstock end of the bed between the flat- and v-ways.
It Is used to determine the size and type of lathe, plus any special
features or attachments. The earliest records show that lathes were
numbered sequentially, beginning with 700, in July 1910, and ending with
186,514 March 1947. After that date, a new numbering system added a three
letter code to indicate 1) the swing, 2) the gear and apron combination and
the location of the drive, and 3) the spindle hole size, type of swing, and
special features. |
Another
very old South Bend Page from
Robert Lang that explains the new numbering system.

Up until 1934 SB lathes we coated with
japanning.
Series "O" machines had
the single wall apron.
Series "O" all have a star
knob that is loosened shifted and tightened to select cross, neutral or long
feeds.
Series "N" aprons have a
knob that you push in and pull out for this function.
The double wall apron series
"N" may not have been made after the late thirties (1937) due to
market forces.
The R series lathes came out in the
early thirties (1934). An R series lathe can always be identified because it
will have the double wall apron with the more modern feed shift handle rather
than star knob shifter.
If your workshop lathe is a 34 or 35
it's a catalog 405. It can be identified by the 1 3/8-10 spindle thread and the
fact that it has no reveres shifter and the lead screw is left hand thread. If
it does not have these three things then its not a 405. If it has the 1 1/2-8
spindle thread and has two bolts to hold each spindle bearing cap on its a
catalog 520 toolmakers lathe. If it has just one bolt on each head stock
bearing cap and has the 1 1/2-8 spindle and has a reverse shifter with right
hand thread lead screw its a catalog 415. All three of these lathes will have
the spindle oilier on top of the head stock bearing caps.
