I have just bought an Edward Blake No 2 Tap Grinder similar to the one pictured here.

I'm sure it will do much more than tap grinding and appears to have been aimed at the English market as it is single ph 250V as stated on a brass plate on the motor.

Does anyone know anything about these machines?

Thanks, Brian

I am now in possession of the machine which has Whitworth threads as well as the English motor. There is a plaque stating that it was supplied by E.P. Barrus Ltd in London and I have established that it came from Marshalls of Gainsborough during a clearout of their works.
