My job before I retired in December 2019 used to send me to several small communities along the coast.
I used to travel to Haida Gwaii three time s a year for two weeks. This old lathe was in the Sandspit diesel
generating station. It had not been used in a long time and is missing the keyed shaft that powers the
carriage and cross feeds. Sadly the last time I was there it was gone and so were the two ancient Cooper
Bessemer inline 8 cylinder diesel generators.
The chuck is 12" in diameter I would guess 15" swing and 60" between centers. There was a 10" 4 jaw chuck and a 12" face plate
and a box of tool bits and assorted parts with it.

The data plat was stamped in 1927.
