Joe is one of my favourite machinists on Youtube and this series is worth a look.

It's actually a F. E. Reed & Co lathe taken from an engraving in the Strelinger catalogue but much simplified. You can get a reprint of the catalogue from PMR if you want to add the missing detail and the rest is a good read too.

And if it measures what Joe says then it's an 18" or the scale is wrong.
