The first manual for the original 10-inch Atlas did not include the screwcutting data - but later editions did, the makers including card inserts to allow the chapter to be included later. To make up for this I can supply the extensive thread-cutting instructions and dedicated charts from what was known as the 61-page "Supplementary Screwcutting Instruction Booklet".

STANDARD MODERN 10-inch Lathe. We don't have the specific manual but the "10-inch" is very similar to the Series 2000 11" model (the 10" measurement is conservative) with the main difference appearing to be that the headstock and tailstock are rounded rather than angular in appearance - and generally less "modern" looking. The Model 2000 was also made with two centre heights: 11 inches and 13 inches. The manual I have is marked for the 11-inch - but it has also been found to cover the 10-inch and 13-inch models.
