    1950s Adcock and Shipley Universal Machine Tool - photos

    The Adcock and Shipley Universal Machine Tool. Built in the 1950s, it was available in a small and large configuration, and included a screwcutting and power feed lathe, a cylindrical/universal grinder, a vertical/horizontal miller, and a drill. It was designed primarily for shipboard use, apparently used by at least both the British and New Zealand navies.

    Here's the larger configuration:




    And, a photo of the smaller configuration
