I was rumaging through a file cabinet at work today and came across and old machine tool catalog, probably from the 50's. Published by Widdowsons of Nottingham, England. The prices are wild :-) A Harrison model L5 4 1/2 centres lathe (9 x 40) for 305 british pounds, 6Ft vertical turret lathe for 7500 pds. If I have time I will post some scans on my website There are a lot of Broadbent machine tools in the catalog, I havn't run across any of them in my travels yet, any one else seen any of them?
