FILENAMES: Strange-item_Automotive_Bottle.jpg Strange_item_Funny_Lathe_thingy.jpg DESCRIPTION: These are pictures of items found with an old lathe. Posted by Jim Isbell . The following description was provided: ================================================================= These are two items that came with my lathe. The bottle thingy may not be for the lathe as it looks automotive. It has a needle valve that will adjust the amount of the fluid (smells like oil) that will enter an airstream that is sucked from one orfice through a small air filter. The Lathe Thingy is made by Allen Electric & Equipment Co. of Kalamazoo Mich. and is model E-109. It has a small electric motor 110Volts AC/DC with a switch and there is a small round belt drive to a spindle that looks like it could hold a very small tool of some sort. It looks like it was made to attach to the side of the lathe bed, but I am not sure just how.
