4655 forum posts 304 photos	I was just browsing this old thread and noticed a question asked by Steve King 5 about his Smart & Brown model A. The answer was in error. His lathe has the revised apron, but the original cast iron stand. It is a Mk 1.5, not a Mk 2. The other improvement to the Mk 2 is the single control to engage the back gear, which cannot be identified in general pictures. The Mk 1 and 1.5 require a locking bolt retracting from the pulley before the back gear is engaged. The Mk 2 maximum speed is 1800 rpm, the older ones only 1425 rpm.
