Hi All,

Saw a Taylor Hobson Pantograph Model MA for sale - and have to say I haven't seen many like it. Also cant find much about them.

Its looks very compact a little like my 1891 model but much more so and is much less adjustable.

Also doesn't look like it is very adjustable and is maybe set for only one or two ratios.

If it was intended for a specialised job, then the extra features would not be needed and that meant a lot during the war, probably 4 could be made instead of 2 universal machines. I would change the wiring to the motor before testing it. The one I used when I was an instrument mechanic had all the features and would be easily converted into a lightweight milling machine if you wanted to do that.
