1716 forum posts	On second thoughts the first could be a rounding up or topping engine for altering the form of wheel teeth or reducing the diameter of the wheel Roy

I have been meaning to pop in again to see a very old lathe (cannot recall the make). It is on display with some items including a traction engine built by the lathe owner. The lathe is American and was treadle drive but had been converted to electric.

I don't remember seeing that watchmakers shop in Pewsey though. Rik
