30 forum posts 30 photos	I have just picked up an inexpensive old Brown & Sharpe dividing head. My needs for such a device are modest, so I think it will do all I want for the moment even though some of its cleverer parts might be missing? But I would like to know what it might be capable of? Can anybody out there recognise what model it is? What I really need is a manual for the thing and this is the first step. Other than it says Browne & Sharpe on it, there are no other numbers I can see that might help. It has a 6 inch chuck fitted and is very heavy!
