It looks to me like a combination of a milling attachment for a
lathe (the vertical part replaces the compound), and a 2-axis X-Y table
missing the table top.
Is it sure that the same company made both parts? The bottom
(X-Y) part looks like something which Sears sold way back when.
Note that the handwheel on the vertical leadscrew is different
from those on the X and Y axes.
Enjoy,
DoN.
Looks like some kind of Rube Goldberg setup of some sort - - -
I'm thinking at leeast 2 more or less unrelated tools fastened
together.
Someone must have left them alone together in the shop for too long.
