Really old Lathe

John, you made it to Jake's shop! That is a VERY special place, with lots of interesting (and very old) machines and tools. Should be a museum...

The milling machine is a Garvin #7. This number does not follow the usual numbering system followed by most manufacturers, it is about the size of a #3 mill in today's nomenclature; also, it is a universal, able to cut spirals, and has an original dividing head made for spiral work.
 
Yes I made it there this last Saturday; I had seen some pictures of a few of the machines in the past, but had no idea of how many machines there are there. I took a lot of pictures, but due to how crowded things are many were perhaps not good enough to present. Sounds like a museum/shop is the plan, but it has to happen elsewhere. I especially liked the steam engine, it has to be nearly the age of the lathe.
