49870, 16 x 8, 1931, N series Tool Room lathe, Catalog No. 1872-E, Thank you for collecting and sharing all this great information. I'm a member of Dallas Makerspace, and we just acquired a 1931 South Bend N under cabinet motor lathe, serial # 49870. It's a 16" 8' lathe, catalog # 1872-E, that I'm told was part of the lend-lease program. It seems to be in great shape, the only problem I've notices so far is a cracked motor housing base and lot of slack in the rack pinion stud. It has a 4-jaw and 3-jaw chuck, as well as a large plate and center rest. I don't know if any of this is original. It also has a taper attachment
