I have a copy of the drawings squirreled away. No worries there. The
actual books are on my wants list, but lower down than some other things.
IIRC the headstock dividing attachment had it's origins in some
articles published by Radford.
I have a set of castings on hand, for a pillar tool looking Sensitive
Drilling Machine as per drawings published by Percival Marshall Co. Ltd.
The drawing number is W.E.2, and I really must search out the other
sheet from wherever it got stuck in one of my recent moves. The castings
were produced by a foundry in Regina,SK. some years back, when taking a
set of drawings such as these to the foundry, did not involve a
requirement to own a bank.
I am quite curious as to the overall value of the RDG version. It
appears to me, that, as one writer suggested, the unit may well be a
pre-assembled kit, or pre-part-machined casting set, but at the price, I
would think that it represented quite a value in saved labour and time.
Some folk do want tools they can use, vice projects, and the picture
that RDG put up, is lacking a bit in the detail.
Me, I'm pretty much just curious, at this point.
Cheers

At last I now see there might be a difference. Perhaps I'll ask Mr RDG
for more pictures.
It took a long time but I knew we'd get the answer.
Thanks one and all.
