This lathe has the flywheel on the right side and drives the mandrel through the overhead shaft, this was unique for Davies lathes.
The lathe above was made in 1912 with bronze and ball race bearings.

We would like to here more about the history and pictures of these unique lathe's to further our knowledge of these machines and other makers of OT and treadle machines.
