Does anybody by chance have anything else besides the parts breakdown for the 1940 ish Sebastian 16X48 lathe. It has a gear box head stock. The gears that drive the lead screw and apron are exposed with no cover. Any input is welcomed. Thank you. Dunsmuir Red.
 
American Antiquarian Society (early machine tools ads and broadsides)

Back in 2012 I found, on the internet, the American Antiquarian Society
It had some early Bement & Dougherty illustrations from 1866.
Also a Phoenix Iron Works gear cutter (1860-1865) and Trumbull Iron Works illustrations from the mid 1850's.
I had posted this on the PM. I never really explored the American Antiquarian Society site.
It was not an easy site to explore (for machine tools) as it is mainly organized by the lithographers.
I found this on the site. Old ads and broadsides that had been collected by William Allen.

Most of these makers I have known about, but I had not found illustrations of some of their machines until now.

I noticed this on the Internet archive looking for something else .
Rae Tool and Engineering, Ltd. : Vises [Catalogue]
Other pages here
They may not be well known outside Canada and I didn't check for more history .
I think my father may have owned a 3" one at one time but not sure and haven't seen many others that I can remember of.

Earlier this week, I digitized and uploaded on Archive.org, the J.T. Slocomb Catalog No. 14, printed appx 1914, as well as a New Price Guide for Catalog 14, printed in October 1915.

Here are the links to them:

J. T. Slocomb Catalog No 14 - British Version
14 - Slocomb Micrometers and Mechanics Tools - Copy.jpg

J. T. Slocomb New Prices Guide for Catalog No. 14 - British Version:

Previous to these two archived pieces, Catalog No. 12 and an unmarked small catalog, were uploaded a few weeks ago as well.
Here is:

J. T. Slocomb Manufactures of Machinist Tools (Catalog No. 12)
photo_2023-10-04_14-19-51.jpg

Micrometers For Accurate And Continued Service - J.T. Slocomb Co.(appx 1905 we believe):
1.jpg

I still have a few more missing Slocomb Catalogs that don't exist online, or anywhere to access. Those are in the works of digitizing and will be uploaded within a few weeks or so.

Once again, knowledge should always be free, and these catalogs are shared to everyone, anywhere, without cost, signup, or any other conditions.
