Gareth if you talking about two holes that are on the face of the legs there was a gear storage wrack that bolted onto the inside of? one of the legs.? The holes at the end of the legs are for bolting the lathe legs to the floor as in this era most all shop floor were wood and machines were lag bolted do the floor.???

Interesting thanks for the info, I wonder how many like it were built. It will be a couple days before I can check the lead screw size. I'm missing the gear cover that goes on the end, the compound rest is missing, The chuck is in bad shape and the cross slide gib isnt in very good shape. I think thats all I'm missing. I'm also curious what the holes in the legs were for they are on both sides. thanks
