15"x54" dual drive lathe

Does anyone know the swing over the carriage? Looking at one, but I need to be able to clear 10.25" over the carriage.

Also, general thoughts about these machines?

I don't know if you've found this info, or it's still relevant, but the 1951 manual, (Price 50 cents, lol), I have for my Dual-Drive states that the "swing over compound rest", is 9 1/2". Not exactly sure if that means the carriage, seems a strange way to phrase it. If you still need the info, I'll measure it and post it here.
