My friend has an 1920 ish 11x5 star lathe. He needs a pix. or drawing
on how the motor and drive pulley is mounted. All the pix show the
front side only. Looking for the back side showing the motor and pullye
assy. Any info or pix will be helpfull. A manual or where i can find
one or view would also be helpful.

Looks like it had an overhead drive type. A big motor turning a lot of
shafts that connect as needed to to individual machines.

Looks like it had an overhead drive type. A big motor turning a lot of
shafts that connect as needed to to individual machines.

There is an overhead shaft assembly resting on the ways near the
headstock, and extending over the headstock.

But it looks to me as though this particular lathe was
originally made to be powered by the operator pumping on a foot treadle
under the machine.

And that is certainly *not* a woodworking machine, in spite of
the web site's focus. Look at the change gears and leadscrew, and the
apron on the carriage.

Enjoy,
