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

[Ady1Participant @ady1]

More headstock pictures from the back/front might help

HTH have some real serious looking headstock bearings

[hthParticipant @hth]

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
