But even in our world of today, Jay Leno probably owns 50% of the survivors in 2012. Very few left IOW. I rode a borrowed Chief in a veterans day parade once, with a square 4 in front of me. I have never again seen both in the same year. The Chief had a suicide clutch and was hell to control at sub idling speeds, but was also very quiet. You could hear the Ariels mechanical noises a block away. I was a bit green at biking then, back in the middle 50's, and didn't realize till 25 years later that that ride could and should have been in the history books, but it was just part of the glitz for a veterans day parade then.

My guess would be a Colchester, fine old British iron.

No, definitely not a Colchester, and probably not British at all, as they tended to put the feed handle at the back (so Z was right-hand, and X was left hand). Unlike the US practice of putting your left hand under the flow of hot swarf controlling Z. I use a Colchester Student as shown in that picture rather regularly, it's an extremely nice bit of kit. In fact every time I use it I am reminded what a hateful pile of scrap I invested a ton of money into CNC converting… I have had a quick look through a few guesses at www.lathes.co.uk, but not found any good candidates yet. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

I dont know what to say here,I am in awe of these models. I have built scale RC planes and have a pretty good sized model railroad,but this persons weathering and aging of things is outstanding. He must be single as no wife I know would allow the time for this. I mean a scale impact wrench!...That looks used! The barrels outside look like they actually are rusty.
