Old Lthes for a working heritage workshop in South Africa

[Noel John]

Please help me with the identity of these old foot operated lathes

Hi. You would need to put up more photos of each lathe.

I know very little about lathes (with the exception of Wadkin lathes) but I suggest that there's a remote chance the second photo is of a "Britannia" lathe.

Lathes.co is your friend, and possibly vintagemachinery.org (though they are mostly American).

Cheers, Vann.

It doesn't look like any of them are foot opperated , One has an electric motor fitted. The others may have been run from a overhead drive running through the factory, Driven by belts.
