I'm just wondering here, how level do you think this lathe is?

The lathe only needs to be level to itself. ?It doesn’t matter what level it is to the earth.?

Same as the machines on navy ships. They are never level to the Earth.

Lathes and other machine tools were routinely part of warship equipment. “Level” is practical shorthand for being certain that the bed is mounted with no twists and sliding surfaces parallel. Charles

Agreed..
As long as the lathe was mounted to a single, solid,
non-flexing vehicle frame piece at all of the (lathe's)
mount points, it'll be fine.
If not available or the vehicle's too "flexy", start by
bolting on an unbending plate under the lathe to keep IT
stable, then "float" the entire assembly on the vehicle
with compliant mounts (ie rubber pucks) to prevent twist.

Oh yes, there is always someone to raise the "but what about this situation."
For mobile units and on board ships level may not be possible. Other methods are employed to assure the bed ways are straight. So technically one could install a lathe on the inside wall of a yurt if a method to assure the ways were flat without any twist was employed.
For stationary installations such as a garage or basement workshop or factory floor using a level is by far and above the easiest method of assuring the bed ways are flat without any twist.

I came across that picture of a lathe mounted to the back of a jeep and thought, "This'll be a good joke." But only one guy mentioned tire pressure. All the rest have been as serious as 'what oil should I use'. So, a tip of the hat to the guy who mentioned tire pressure, thank you.

Plus he has 4-wheel drive on top of the back gears for serious hogging.

I would imagine that the machine shop for a battleship or a carrier would have been impressive.? Following a battle there would likely be need for parts that could only be supplied via an on board machine shop.? By any chance does anyone have pictures???? I doubt machinists were given the honor they were due.?

I know the US Navy Trained Machinists from Korean war to the Vietnam War were pretty damn good. ?That was also probably the heyday for US Manual Machining. ? I know this very subjective but that is what I saw in the 1980's through the turn of the century.

Would definitely like to have a bench like that to mount my lathe to! -- Ken H in AZ Knowledge is like manure, it won't do any good unless you spread it around.

William, I searched "war ship machine shops" and found lots of info, here is one video:
