Name/Title

Lathe

Description

This large metal lathe has a 10-foot bed, and a 22-inch swing. It was purchased, used, from the Charles Bonn Paper Machine Co, Philadelphia, PA for $30. All the tooling for this lathe is in Carton 9. Mr. Collins responded to an ad in the Sunday paper and purchased this machine by phone, sight unseen. On a Saturday, he and his two sons moved this machine from the 4th floor of the Paper Machine Co, loaded into a rented truck, and returned to the Mill with it.
