Special Edition for the rare combined early/late Harrison "13-inch" and "15-inch" (identical apart from centre height) and badged variously as the 155, 165, 190 and "1300" and also sometimes found branded as the "DoAll". These very distinctive lathes differ from the other 155 and 165 L6 Mk. 2 types in having the two spindle-speed levers pointing downwards on the front face of the headstock (instead of on top), large embossed sheet-aluminium covers on the headstock and face of the apron.
The screwcutting gearbox was the earlier type with a sliding tumbler selector that indexed into a row of holes.
This manual consists of two editions, MHL13 and MHL19, to cover the differences between the models.

Also included are charts for various pitches of leadscrew as commonly used on small lathes - one suitable for your lathe will certainly be amongst them. Various simple projects are also included with engineering drawings that allow some useful accessories to be made - rotating centre, 4-way toolpost, collet holder, tailstock threading die-holder, carriage length stop, etc. If you want to know about the fundamentals of lathe construction and use, how to set suitable turning speeds how to sharpen tools, set tool angles, read micrometers and verniers, etc.
