Hardinge - Cataract. Unfortunately, there was never a "Manual" for the early Cataract lathes and millers - but there is a wonderful full-range Catalogue showing all the Precision Bench and Screwcutting Lathes, Milling Machines, Automatic Gear and Pinion Cutters, Drills and the full accessory range made from 1900 to the early 1930s. Although not a Manual, there are many descriptive and illustrative details of the machines' construction and drive systems including Sectional Drawings of the various headstocks.
