Hello, I am just about to start this Hemingway kit, which I must have had under the bench for perhaps 45 years!

Reading the instructions, there appears to be a gap. I suspect that there is a missing page. The kit is one of the very original ones from, I think, Rochdale. There is an introductory first page and then several more pages giving info on the construction of these boring bars, I suspect that I am missing the second page of the instructions.

If anyone can supply me with a copy of the missing page, I would be most grateful. I suspect that an enquiry to Reeves would elicit a dusty reply!

Regards,

Andrew.

Is this the between-centres bars, a set of three of different diameters?

If so it’s likely the same as the set I made, and if I can find the drawings I can probably copy the relevant page.

If you are unable to obtain a set of third party instructions, is there a chance that the design was previously written up in Model Engineer magazine?

If so, the online, searchable index might find a reference to it. You know the subject; you know the author.

Having issue and page numbers would be a first step to obtain a paper copy.
