This old  Parkson has fallen into my greedy hands !

It may have been a wartime import . It came with a dividing head and vise .

The factory was in Shipley ? Bradford I think . Geography is not my strongest subject.

That's some piece of machinery; looking at the background of your pic do you have room for it in your workshop ?

The series one in the background floats my boat. Nice mill as well.

Yes I do have a shed full of stuff …Hmm it has become a problem . The old Parky will be outside for a while , it has been well oiled and is covered over . The Winters here in S.E. Australia are not as bad as other places can be. The mill may have been used in a munitions factory . I have seen other examples of wartime machinery with the 'war finish' tag .

The series 1 Land Rovers were popular around here , many farmers had one . The Land Rover was the only vehicle of its type available , apart from worn out WW2 Jeeps.
