For the sale, on June 10, 1959, it was changed to a toggle cam clutch before being delivered. Gear box is DTG106R, and originally included collets, a collet rack, micrometer carriage stop, and a taper attachment (no threading dial). The model is CL8187AB (listed in the Vintage Machinery catalog). It came with a quick change gear box on a 4' bed. The lathe itself is a heavy 10 Large (the "L" in "RKL") 10x4 "Toolroom" lathe with undercount drive. Grimes Manufacturing Company was started by Warren G Grimes (you know, the guy who invented the navigation lights we see on all the aircraft) in the 1930s, and later purchased by Honeywell. It was shipped on April 12, 1957, but then shipped again on June 24th, 1959 to Grimes Mfg. This is a lathe manufactured Mathat had a regular clutch for the power cross feed. I didn't get that until late March - and immediately stripped down the bed and feet, scraped it clean (and into specifications) and masked it off to paint. I started with a 4-foot bed (a little more space over the Junior would be nice).

The "good" thing about this is I can clean up the parts and paint them before assembly.

It's a lot of money to throw at a hope, but I'd done it before with the car. This one would be tough because I had to buy a lot of pieces from eBay sellers and then assemble them into a hopefully-functional lathe. So, with the Heavy 10 Lathe Headstock I purchased to put on my junior bed, after realizing I'd made a mistake and bought an under drive headstock that wouldn't work with the Junior I had, I knew I'd need to just build me another lathe.
