One of the largest machine tools ever used in Chatham Dockyard, this set of 42 ft (12.8m) plate-bending rolls weighs 200 tons. They were installed in the yard's No. 5 Machine Shop in 1913 and were used to bend metal plates up to 1½ inches (37.5mm) thick.
The rolls were built by Hugh Smith & Co. at their Possil Works in Glasgow. The rolls were rescued by Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust in 1986, shortly before the machine shop was demolished. They were re-erected as seen above in 2010 as part of the No. 1 Smithery project.
Details from the noticeboard in front of the rolls. The tables and chairs belong to a cafe behind me.

In the First World War, the British armed forces used large numbers of lorries, cars, tanks and aircraft. The ability to maintain and repair this equipment where it was being used was important. Hence, a fleet of mobile workshops were made to War Office specification. These consisted of three-ton lorries carrying the machinery necessary for making all but major repairs. During use the lorry was parked and its sides folded down to extend the workshop floor. The machine tools were then driven from the lorry engine by belts and shafting.
This 1/8th scale model is one of a series that Daimler provided for the Science Museum in London in 1921 to illustrate their role in providing mechanical transport and equipment during the 'war to end all wars.' Other models in the series included a Daimler motor ambulance, a tank with a Daimler engine and a large Daimler motor car for senior officers, although I didn't see these during my visit.
In the tool shop of the Hagley Museum, in working order, as are all the tools in this shop. More than 150 years old. Tool shop is lit by oil lamps & window light just as it was when it was in its heyday in 1880. This shop produced all the parts that were needed for explosives production at the Hagley Powder Works of DuPont. HDR from three photos, -2, 0, and +2 ev.

A fine bit of 'rugged' and durable casting on this machine. The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd had a long and at times quite contorted history. Charles Churchill, a US born businessman, first appears to have been involved in providing imported machine tools in the 1890s and by 1906 he was behind a limited company set up in Pendleton. The company propsered and moved in time to a large factory in Broadheath, Sale. The company was connected to several buisnesses via shared directors including the BSA who in 1961 bought them. By 1970 the Broadheath factory had closed and the machine tool name vanishes.

A lathe with a connection to Matthew Murray, Krupps of Germany and Gottleib Daimler of internal-combustion engine fame. It is a belt-driven lathe by Smith, Beacock & Tannet of Holbeck, leeds.
Smith, Beacock & Tannett were makers of Machine Tools and they operated out of the Victoria Works in Holbeck. This had previously been known as the Round Foundry, Matthew Murray's works. Upon Murray's death in 1826 his firm continued under the name Murray, Fenton & Jackson, until 1843. When the business closed the works was taken over by Smith, Beacock and Tannett. By the 1880s, Smith, Beacock & Tannett were said to employ 800 men making them the largest machine tool makes in Britain.
The lathe pictured above, now an historical artwork in Saw Mill Yard in Holbeck on the site of the Round Foundry, was produced in 1895. The following year Smith, Beacock & Tannett were taken over by Greenwood & Batley of the Albion Works on Armley Road.
A rather odd aside to this photo is that Alfred Krupp, who was responsible for forming the great German company Friedrich Krupp AG Hoesch-Krupp which at the beginning of the 20th Century was the largest company in Europe, sent his son Friedrich Alfred Krupp to train at Smith, Beacock & Tannett. Friedrich went on to expand the company across the world and also to start the program that resulted in the German U-Boat fleet. Gottleib Daimler, the creator of the first motorbike and pioneew of the internal-combustion engine, also spent time training here.

One of the great Leeds Industrialists started his career at Smith, Beacock & Tannett. Samson Fox was born in Bradford in 1838 and is the great-grandfather of actor Edward Fox OBE. His family moved to Leeds shortly afterwards where at the age of fifteen he was apprenticed to Smith, Beacock and Tannett, eventually becoming a foreman and later a traveller for the company.
During his time as their travelling representative Fox became acquainted with Scotts of Greenock, who were major shipbuilders on the Clyde. Scotts provided a substantial proportion of the finance to enable Fox to set up the Leeds Forge at Castleton Field, Armley in 1874.

Carriage and tool bit of a small, antique metal lathe that was passed along to me. My dad bought it, most likely in the early 1940's. I believe it was made in the 1920's. Illuminated by natural light filtering into my garage through an upper window.
A lathe is a machine tool that rotates the workpiece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the workpiece to create an object with symmetry about an axis of rotation.
Lathes are used in woodturning, metalworking, metal spinning, thermal spraying, parts reclamation, and glass-working. Lathes can be used to shape pottery, the best-known design being the potter's wheel. Most suitably equipped metalworking lathes can also be used to produce most solids of revolution, plane surfaces and screw threads or helices. Ornamental lathes can produce three-dimensional solids of incredible complexity. The workpiece is usually held in place by either one or two centers, at least one of which can typically be moved horizontally to accommodate varying workpiece lengths. Other work-holding methods include clamping the work about the axis of rotation using a chuck or collet, or to a faceplate, using clamps or dogs.
Examples of objects that can be produced on a lathe include candlestick holders, gun barrels, cue sticks, table legs, bowls, baseball bats, musical instruments (especially woodwind instruments), crankshafts, and camshafts.
This machine was an exhibit in the 'Museum of Bath at Work' at Camden Works, Julian Road, in Bath, Somerset, England. Usually the city of Bath conjures up images of elegant crescents, Beau Nash and Jane Austen, but amid the gentility there have always been pockets of industry - brewers; flour-millers; manufacturers of Plasticine, cars and even gigantic dockyard cranes, and supplying them all with their nuts and bolts from 1872 onwards was the business of Jonathan Burdett Bowler.
As a self-made mechanical engineer, brass-founder, gas fitter, locksmith, bell-hanger, fizzy drink manufacturer and all-round entrepreneur. He founded a family firm, which closed down in 1969; and thanks to the frugal habits he instilled in his children and grandchildren nothing was ever thrown away so the public can now visit this perfect reconstruction of his premises. Cluttered, grubby and glittering with brass, this is an industrial time capsule.
J B Bowler & Sons' final closure was forced by Bath Council's compulsory purchase of the firm's Corn Street site for a multi-storey car park. Luckily, another local businessman, Russell Frears, was so struck by the historical continuity the premises represented that he bought the entire contents of the building, almost one million of them, for £2,000 and founded the Bath Industrial Heritage Trust to preserve them.
Meticulous photographs were taken so that the layout of the works and shop could be duplicated, before everything was stored until a suitable museum building could be found. In 1978, the Bowler business was reconstituted at the Camden Works an interesting building in its own right, having been constructed as a real tennis court in 1777, and later converted into a pin manufactory. One thousand photographs taken of the original business were used in the reconstruction of shop, workshops, offices, bottling plant, etc. Over 10,000 bottles were saved and a collection of half a million documents were also saved.
This museum was established in 1978 to present the commercial development of Bath over the last 2000 years and includes displays on four floors. The main exhibit is this reconstruction of an engineering and mineral water making business set up by Victorian entrepreneur Jonathan Bowler in 1864.
Other reconstructions at the museum include a cabinet maker's workshop and a Bath Stone quarry face complete with crane, tools, etc. In 1999 a rare Horstmann car, built in 1914 was acquired, and, in 2003, a comprehensive exhibition on Bath's development, 'Bath at Work : 2000 Years of Earning a Living' opened. A local history display in the Hudson Gallery opened in 2007 and features an ever changing display of photographs. In 2008 the only known example of a horizontal Griffin cycle gas engine was acquired.

At Hagley Museum, Wilmington, DE. Planer took off material on both the forward and reverse stroke. Wood & Light was in Worcester, MA. Original lamps burned sperm whale oil, now they use kerosine. Work day for the 20 or so machinists was 10 hrs, 6 days a week and in the winter, much of the work must have been done in very poor light provided by the lamps only--the light isn't great even mid-day in the summer. No heat, nor air conditioning. HDR of 3 photos, -2, 0, and +2 ev.

- Early steam powered machine tools were one of the key elements of the industrial revolution. Here is a tiny miniature model.
A few years back, due to downsizing of the tool & die department where I worked, I had the opportunity to buy a number of machines/ machine tools, that I had been using every day for years. I ended up buying eighteen machines, for pennies on the hundred dollars. Here are nameplates from a few of them.
