13426KKX7,
Shipped: 5/20/1968,
10K x 3-1/2-foot bed,
Model A, Catalog No. CL370-ZD,
UMD Metal Cabinet Floor Lathe  with factory variable speed drive.

Shipped to Gilbert and Richards in Connecticut, the original purchaser.
Has hardened ways and came with a full set of 6K collets and a quick release lever.
The motor is 1 hp 3-phase.
This lathe is somewhat unusual because it has a factory variable speed drive on it.
I called once and talked to Randy at South Bend about the drive.
I wanted to get information on it as well as some part numbers.
He told me that SB had never made such a drive,
and that what I had must have been some after market item someone had installed.
I told him it was a South Bend product because of the speed tags attached to it,
which were the red and gold metal tagging.
I was persistent about this and he went off to take another look.
He came back saying he had worked there for 25 years and had never heard of such a thing,
but he had found info on it in the files.
Apparently SB made a few of the 10K's with the variable drive during 1967 and 1968, and I had one of those.
The drive hardware was made by South Bend,
but they purchased a variable pulley from HI-Lo Manufacturing Co.(located in Minnesota)
and installed this when the lathe was built.
The headstock has only one pulley in the middle of course,
since there is no belt position changing to be done.
I have talked with a couple of other people who have the same machine but there can't be too many of them around.
