Not a make I have heard of, and nothing on Tony Griffiths site either. www.lathes.co.uk/Might be worth an email to Tony, who is a mine of information. As for selecting back gear, without seeing it, one can only guess. A photo or two might help. |

Hi Dave,
It is possible the lathe was made and/or sold by Robert Kelly and sons, based in Manchester and Liverpool, who were trading in the 1920's. In ME there is a reference to a 'Kelson Lathe Toolholder' which was sold by them.
