I have a Barker lathe of 1947 vintage. Apparently in issue 2512 of ME there is something about it, an article maybe. As I can only access the MEW digital archive can anyone tell me what this content might be before I take a punt on buying a copy

Thanks very much for any help

John

Hi John, it is basic one page overview of the then new design of the 5" Barker Lathe, which apparently embodied a number of unusual and ingenious features including some of special interest to readers of ME.

Regards Nick.

Thanks Nick and Keith for that

It is a unique bit of kit and I love it so that article will be a "have to have"

I found a postbag letter answer in issue 3560 referring to the Barker lathe if you are after old articles

"This lathe was described in ME vol 101page 60 on 14 july 1949 (issue 2512) and again in rather more detail in Mechanics volume XLVII on page 320 and 321on the 17 February 1950...

...Mechanics was of course later amalgamated with Model Engineer"

I'm not familiar with the post WW2 UK version of Mechanics but a well known auction site may have a copy

edit

This may be what you are after, but I'm not 100% sure

John,

If you would like a digital copy of the ME 2512 page referred to then PM me with your email address, as I can only do it in pdf format, which the forum album won't accept.

Keith may have already done this in his PM to you.

Phil
