I was looking at this lathe but can't find any information on "rapidd junior". Can anyone else provide any more information?

Thanks.

I could find nothing at the usual sites (lathes.co.uk and vintagemachinery.org)

I wonder what the string is for?

There is a similar lathe on Pract. Machinists, and they couldn't ID it either. I don't think the first word is rapidd.
 
It sure looks like "RAPIDD", but I'm having much better success using "RAPIDO JUNIOR" as the search criteria.

Haven't really gone too deep, but obviously a European connection. Maybe somebody else can track it further?

Now you have to decide which was the first "Hey, let's try making a lathe" and which was second "Let's give up, we'll never get this right."
 
Even with the name correction, there's nothing at the usual two sites (listed above).
Parts and manuals will be even more scarce.....
