The photos show my Perris in vertical amd horizontal set ups. I would be very interested to know if anyone has a similar machine or remembers it being displayed at the Model Engineer Exhibition in the early 70s. The table is 14.5 x 3 inches. The motor is 0.33 hp. Pictures 1, 2. Shows vertical set up. Note two holes at the top of the column. In vertical set up the top hole carries the vertical head support arm. Picture 3. Shows the machine was made at Worthing Factory but was not given a serial number. Picture 4. Shows the parts for vertical set up. Picture 5. Shows the cutter bearing removed from the vertical head. Picture 6. Assembled in horizontal mode. The top hole carries the over arm and the bottom hole carries the cutter bearing with the cutter arbor fitted. Picture 7. Shows the counter shaft. All pulleys are Picador. I have owned the machine since the mid 70s. It was stored oiled until last year when I retired so it has no wear at all.
