Smart and Brown Mk.1 Model M backgeared, screwcutting precision toolroom lathe 4" x 18" with power cross feed and coolant - probably manufactured between 1946-47. The lathe is used frequently and is almost completely original even to the factory-fitted single-phase drive motor and switchgear (the leather drive belt if not the first fitted, is ancient).

The latter facility allows the user to manufacture short-batch runs or complex shapes such as petticoat pipes, carburettor bell mouths, etc, all without CNC control.
