thanks for viewing.
I recently acquired on trade a south bend 11" X5' bed catalog 111B S/N 105014 IQR lathe from a great guy in the Sacramento area...you know who you are!!! thanks again!!
The South Bend Lathe was distributed by Moore Machinery Los Angeles/San Francisco under contract with the United States Naval Yard at Mare Island , Vallejo Ca.
http://www.charlesmoore2.com is a great historical link. for those interested.
This is Henrietta,
my first South Bend lathe.
She has made her share of parts to defend democracy and protect the rights that, all to often, are forgotten.
As repayment for her service, i will restore the old girl first to working condition.
then i'll get her hair done and paint on her nails and such....
