Chip trays are a plus.
Big parts, a lot of chips.

*2. Went back for another gander, 1904 but not a lineshaft shop. The motor drives a cogged belt, with the headstock gearing under or in the lathe bed? The headstock proper IS in the middle, tailstocks and carriages at each end. Chuck is actually a trunnion bearing.
Well worth examining full size. Enhanced maybe, but they still can't improve image beyond what is recorded. Incredible detail.

A slightly newer version; with conventional drive.
