2 forum posts 4 photos	I got this steady from a closing down sale after the owner died none of the workers knew what machine it was off of so they threw it in the skip. They had two lathes in the workshop, a 15 inch harrison and a capstan lathe (possibly ward) Does anyone know what lathe it is from? From what limited pictures of Harrison steadies this does not appear to be one as they seam a lot "lighter".
