These huge "lathe on one end" were mainly used by marine or locomotive engineers for turning the enormous components involved. The circular "chuck" could be up to 20 feet in diameter. This interesting model was seen at an exhibition at Kew Bridge engines museum in West London.

Slate cutter in an old slate-cutting workshop in the western studio block at Glyllifon, near Llandwrog, Gwynedd, North Wales (Cymru).
Glynllifon is a large mansion located at the NW corner of the Llŷn Peninsula. The whole complex with its large ground now caters for different uses and activities with different bodies responsible for running them. The buildings formerly occupied by the maintenance workshops (as here), stables, heating system and power generating system are now partly occupied by art and craft studios.
We visited Glynllifon studios because they were open to the public as part of the September 2012 'art trail' event (Helfa Gelf) in this part of Wales. My daughter Rachel had some work on display there. There is also an exhibition in this block, explaining this part of Glynllifon and some of the machinery and workshops have been restored as exhibits. Other workshops like this one just seem to have been left much as they probably were on the last day they were used. But it's hard to tell whether they are a deliberate part of the exhibition, abandoned, or otherwise left in limbo until they can be restored or cleared.
This workshop has various slate-cutting benches, for working with slabs rather than roofing slates. The machine here bears the nameplate of Pfeil & Co. Ltd London. This was a 19th Century company based in Clerkenwell and Bloomsbury, making engineering equipment, especially lathes, though this particular machine is a cutter. This and the other machines in this workshop seem to have been powered by band drives from overhead shafts driven from the nearby steam engine, though the bands seem to have gone. There is also what looks like a treadle on this machine, perhaps used as control rather than a drive.
North Wales was for many years a prime producer of slate, especially high quality roofing slates, and these were exported all over Britain and even sent abroad. There remains plenty of slate in the area but the industry has declined almost to zero and most of its vast former slate quarries are now disused. This workshop was presumably for preparing slate slabs for use on the Glynllifon estate and buildings, rather than for export beyond Glynllifon.

A working model of a mechanical hacksaw. The frame of which takes a standard "Junior" hacksaw blade so it will actually saw through pieces of wood ,metal and so such. Very popular model at exhibitions.
My latest construction . A ball mill prompted by the acquisition of a ceramic ball mill canister (made by Royal Doulton) . All I built was the powered roller upon which it rotates.
. . . only about 6 inches high. Incredible highly detailed model of a machine tool I have spent many many years working.
Our VMC Turret Mill is a compact, accurate and low cost vertical milling machine.

A tiny working model power hacksaw I built from Meccano. I deliberately used my scruffiest old parts as the full sized hacksaws are often in this state. Despite the blade being only 2.5" long it actually does saw through wood or metal.
Provided you are Patient!
Although not a very good picture , this is one of the first machine tools I ever operated. Strangely enough the drill spindle is almost invisable near the tool rack. This can be moved left and right along the arm which itself can be pulled or pushed to and fro until the drill is above the hole to be drilled.
There ! Now you know all about it!

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.

From a photograph album of Alfred Herbert Ltd of Coventry, once one of the UK's premier machine tool manufacturers. Found at the local tip and it cost me a £1. The album of some 50 mostly whole plate prints has been donated to the Herbert Museum & Art Gallery
Well... it's this kind of luck that I usually have. Tell friends I'm on the hunt for a SB heavy 10 and someone gives me 1/4 of one. Anybody got the rest of my lathe?

Slate-splitter in an old workshop in the western studio block at Glyllifon, near Llandwrog, Gwynedd, North Wales (Cymru).
Glynllifon is a large mansion located at the NW corner of the Llŷn Peninsula. The whole complex with its large ground now caters for different uses and activities with different bodies responsible for running them. The buildings formerly occupied by the maintenance workshops (as here), stables, heating system and power generating system are now partly occupied by art and craft studios.

My daughter Rachel had some work on display there. There is also an exhibition in this block, explaining this part of Glynllifon and some of the machinery and workshops have been restored as exhibits. Other workshops like this one just seem to have been left much as they probably were on the last day they were used. But it's hard to tell whether they are a deliberate part of the exhibition, abandoned, or otherwise left in limbo until they can be restored or cleared.
This particular machine seems to have been used as a slate-splitter. The slate to be split is presumably locked into approximate position with the larger wheel handle, and the smaller wheel used for finer adjustments. A heavy splitting 'knife' (cf. 'sword of Damocles') a the top of this photo, can then be released from its position above the slate, to fall on to the upper edge of the slate block.
North Wales was for many years a prime producer of slate, especially high quality roofing slates, and these were exported all over Britain and even sent abroad. There remains plenty of slate in the area but the industry has declined almost to zero and most of its vast former slate quarries are now disused. This workshop was presumably for preparing slate slabs for use on the Glynllifon estate and buildings, rather than for export beyond Glynllifon.

Our first visit to the Independence Seaport Museum in Philladephia. August 2012.
From Wikipedia:
USS Olympia (C-6/CA-15/CL-15/IX-40) is a protected cruiser that saw service in the United States Navy from her commissioning in 1895 until 1922. This vessel became famous as the flagship of Commodore George Dewey at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The ship was decommissioned after returning to the U.S. in 1899, but was returned to active service in 1902.
She served until World War I as a training ship for naval cadets and as a floating barracks in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1917, she was mobilized again for war service, patrolling the American coast and escorting transport ships.
Following the end of World War I, Olympia participated in the 1919 Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, and conducted cruises in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas to promote peace in the unstable Balkan countries. In 1921, the ship carried the remains of World War I's Unknown Soldier from France to Washington, DC, where his body was interred in Arlington National Cemetery. Olympia was decommissioned for the last time in December 1922 and placed in reserve.
This is my Warco mini-lathe set up here (after a fashion, and hopefully) for milling. The vertical slide is angled over to make space, and the stanley multi-angle vice is clamped to it. The carriage and slides will be used in the standard way to feed the workpiece into the endmill, which can be seen at left. The piece of softwood held in the vice was just to test out the setup. I have used this kind of setup successfully with slitting saws on pieces of walnut but whether it will work with other milling cutters or on metal remains to be seen. The vice can also - again hopefully, because I haven't tried it yet - be used to hold a flexible drive shaft (powered by the drill press which stands next to the lathe, at top right) carrying a drill or cutter to machine a workpiece held in the chuck. The use of the stanley vice is an improvisation of my own and is decidedly amateur in nature. However, it could greatly extend the capacity and flexibility of the vertical slide. This said, the setup is definitely not rigid enough to machine to engineering tolerances, due to vibration and lack of rigidity. However, I'm hoping it will be ok for making everyday objects which don't require a high degree of precision. I'll let you know...
Update: the setup worked ok cutting walnut with a slitting saw, so it had its uses. However, it was hopeless trying to mill a groove in aluminium - just not stable enough. Anyway, I have recently bought a much bigger lathe plus two milling machines, so that will cvhange things somewhat! Pictures to follow in due course...
