Hi Dale ,

Reiter & Co in Halesowen and Reiter Gmbh in Switzerland made an RSB range of machines circa 1900 .

The companies were either the same business or they had very close association .

They made all sorts of machinery including lathes and drills but also steam engines , looms and carding machines .

The Swiss company still exists and they continue to make the RSB range of mill and textile machinery .

No way of knowing if it is the correct RSB for your drill but seems possible .

The trail goes cold at this point – nothing further in my notes or online .

Possibly something more to be found by hand search in Birmingham museums .

Regards ,

Michael Williams .
