1924 No. 1142 LIENHARD CONSTRUCTEURS LA CHAUX-DEFONDS SUISSE

I got it from a retired toolmaker in Sydney, Australia who inherited
it and we'd be interested in any ideas what it might have been from.

Thanks for looking,
Greg.

My guess is that it is a part off a straight line engine turning machine
Probably the mainslide

I don't know what the part is but "LA CHAUX-DEFONDS SUISSE" is a small
town in Switzerland that is in the heart of the clock making country. It is
a French speaking town. They still have manufacturing there and at least
one major store for buying machine tools.

I did a search on "lienhard machine" and come up with a couple of engine
turning machines forsale at Golds Machinery. Look there for a picture of
the machine that this may have come off of.
