Default F.E. Reed Lathe

I had one of those lathes. On cast iron feet, no motor but it had an
unusual feature. On the left end of the spindle was a milling
attachment. 2 axis and a huge box of thread chasers No longitudinal
screw just a cross slide that had a big knob on the bottom. I believe it
was one of the first mill/lathe combos. Built in Mass sometime around
1895. Quite ingenious
