The taper attachment was standard fit for all toolroom lathes of all sizes, but engine lathes could be up-specced with a T.A. at time of ordering is my understanding. My 1941 Toolroom 10L was dispatched with a T.A.

My South Bend search on ebay yielded this.

Great price and a step up from the 10's. (I have a 13" with D1-4 spindle, flame hardened bed. Love it!)
