But it’s much better than ’Oxford’ ... Which it was before Neil kindly changed it.

yes, maybe. But a search for ‘Boxford’ brings up ten pages. A search for
Box-Ford brings up one thread.

Ah, but this thread is now mostly about Box-Ford so it would be wrong to change it...

There ya go! (Must get a replacement for that when I get round to it...)

Box-Ford label

Boxford stopped stocking that type of badge sometime in the 1980's, all they have is a smaller one like this

Oh well, never mind - I did find these people who seem be able to make one. As an aside, any ideas what the original colour of this circa late 50's Model C would have been? I think it may have been a dark blue, but bits of the countershaft assembly are greenish-grey (underneath the blue Hammerite that the previous owner must have had a large tin or two of).

Traveling steadies do not mount to the cross slide, they fix to the saddle (carriage).

The lathes database **LINK** Shows that the hyphen disappeared sometime around 1960

I think that was the time of the great international hyphen shortage caused when they were all bought up and reforged into the ubiquitous grocer's apostrophes. (Or should that be apostrophe's?) Rarer than loo paper in a plague they were.
