mystry lathe
I went to pick up an engine for my bandmill project and the guy had a 13"
lathe (very old he thought pre 20's) that he offered to sell for scrap. The only tag on it says Globe manufacturing, no serial #s on the ways or anywhere I could see. Everything moves, no rust, lots of dirt, no tooling but a 3 jaw chuck. I googled Globe and found nothing but a reference to a milling attachment. It looks very similar to an early southbend the gear cover and the apron are identical to some pictures I found but there's no reference to southbend on the machine that I could find. Anybody seen/ have one like it? For what he wanted it could easily follow me home Andrew |

Anybody seen/ have one like it? For what he wanted it could easily follow me home There's a real good chance the headstock has babbit bearings. If they are worn out, the lathe is useless till you rebabbit. DAMHIKT. You can check for this by bringing a 2x4 along. Wedge it under the chuck and lift, if it moves up enough that you can see it move (.020"?), you're in for this repair. More trouble than its worth. Karl |

That list doesn't begin to scratch the surface. It doesn't list my 1917 Taylor & Finn knee mill, either. I suspect that the only place where you'll find complete lists of US-built machines is in the archives of _American Machinist_. Even there, they probably missed some. Those archives, BTW, may only exist at the National Library of Congress today, in microfilm and microform. There were two other sets when I was at _AM_, and I know that one got broken up; the other *might* be at _AM's_ newer offices in Cleveland. Maybe. -- Ed Huntress |

Andrew My SB "A" (1960) has, among other tings, a label "Canadian Fairbanks Morse" (the importing agent/dealer) riveted to it. Perhaps,in your case, Globe was the selling agency.
