Hi Peter,

I put a few pictures in an album for you, as requested. My mill is (I think) 1976 vintage, so it's possible yours will differ.

I don't have any pictures of the switch panel. Mine is in bits currently (long story).

When I first bought it, over 20 years ago, I phoned Denford and spoke to an ex-TS man who told me that the DC table drive was installed by Simplatroll at Leeds. He reckoned that only three Light Verticals had the conversion, although that seems hard to believe (I think it was standard on the VS). He also relieved me of, I seem to recall, £30 for a copy of manual – which Denford themselves produced following their takeover of TS. What arrived in the post was a few badly typed, badly copied (and mostly irrelevant) sheets – with some duplicated and others missing! To add insult to injury, it turned up on the internet FOC a few years later.

The main motor on the head of mine is three phase – but originally single voltage, delta wound. I had to unpick the star point from the windings before I could run it on an inverter.
