It would be interesting to try and find out the history of my lathe and how it came to be in the uk.? It appears that it was made end of april /beginning of may 1941 (going by the dates on the headstock bearings) so right when America was ramping up the lease lend program during ww2.
?
Was atlas involved in the lease lend?? where lathes sent to the uk?
?
of course the slightly less historical important theory is that an american solder bought it before the americans went to war and then relocated over here after the war sometime
?
many thanks
