Long, long time ago.. I operated a lathe turning turbine outer cases and
can't remember the type.

It had a 60" face plate and had no tailstock... We refered to them as
T-lathes or stubnose lathes... Is there a common name for these.

Thanks, Jack

They were called "T" lathes..... major manufactures were Lodge &
Shipley, Monarch, Niles, and Lucas....

Actually it was L & S who designated theirs as T Lathes.
Monarch used the term Right Angle Lathes.
Many used "Face or "Surfacing" lathes.

How about reducing the paranoia on your site?
