What Lathe Is This?

[hardware1170]

I think it's a Clausing 100 Series, probably the "Mk 3a" based on the lever on top of the quick change. See: http://www.lathes.co.uk/clausing/page6.html

I had one of these once, in fact it was my first lathe. As I recall it had the maker's name on a plaque on the tailstock. Unfortunately your thread index plate has strayed; that would have had the maker's name also. And there was a plate on the headstock stating that Timken bearings were used. Sold mine in 1979 when I got a South Bend Heavy 10.

Thanks David, contacted Clausing and they sent me the manual and speed chart that is missing.
