            Hi Mike, sorry but you photos are a no show for me, try putting them in a gallery on your account, then its easy to transfer from there.  You may need to cut them down to e mail standard,(640 x 480)  it took me many hours to work that out.      Ian S C

              Mike,

              Sorry … can't see your pics

              The way this forum works, it seems best to put them in an album first.

              [you can then copy them from the album into the thread, if you wish]

                            Thanks for the link Dias

                            I did have a look at Tony's page but this HTH is from a later period, if it is a HTH at all

                              More headstock pictures from the back/front might help

                              HTH have some real serious looking headstock bearings

                                Hi

                                I think the headstock bearings are tapered bronze bushes ?

                                It is a very solid little lathe .

                                I would like to know if HTH manufactured lathes into the 1940's or 50's ?

                                Thank you …Mike
