36672    Catalog # 22-YC,   9 in. Swing      3 Foot Bed
Shipped from factory October 11, 1927
To: Edward Sweet    Martinville Rd. Warsaw NY
Line Shaft drive, change gears
Additions:
Ed designed and built and added:  Power cross feed and a Steady Rest.
Ed sold me the lathe in September 1964.
I changed drive from line shaft to bench mounted reversing motor drive three years later.
Replaced the round leather belt driving the cross feed shaft to a timing belt,
Fitted a 10K quick change gear box from a CL6707 lathe, built a Collet set,
Thread dial and a micrometer stop.
To date one shim has been removed from the spindle bearings.
After all those years of use it’s still an accurate machine.
A tribute to the engineers and craftsmen of South Bend Lathe Company.
I have some documentation to scan and send you.
Best regards,
Gary Reisdorf
