I've got what appears to be a 9" to the foot model of a Myford dividing head 9well a part built one).... Scouting round the net makes me believe it is a Westbury Dividing head. Now Hemingway have reintroduced this to their lineup so I will be trying to get some of the extra bits I need from them (the actual dividing bit) but I could do with a set of the original drawings if possible.....

From memory the original article by E Westbury was never fully finished, and a lot of the dimensions left to the builder to suit their particular lathe.
The Hemingway version which I will be building as a review for MEW ( once the Super 7 is finished ) uses the dividing plates and micro adjustment kit from the Thomas Dividing kit. So if you have the book it can be adapted to suit.

Ah... that would explain the lack of success at other ports of call too... I'll phone Hemingway (I need the dividing bits anyway and I'd like some other stuff.... see if they'll sell me a set of plans so I can work out what I've got adn what needs doing to it....
