Bee:
It is an early model B because the later ones did away with the 'basket handle' above the headstock which didn't stiffen it up as well as they expected. Worth joining the Yahoo Drummond group which has lots of info but if you aren't already familiar with Yahoo it doesn't work very well with Microsoft Browser.
The cross bar for the auto-disengage is so characteristic you can spot a Drummond from 300 yds away. Above the drill chuck key in photo 1 the clamp on the bar is supposed to be set on the left of the saddle. There is a drop down bar missing from your saddle that comes down to push that clamp and the cross bar to disengage the drive.
BTW it is rather difficult to view photos that are more than about 400 pixels wide on this forum as finding the scroll bar is just a pain.

awemawson:
640 x 480 seems a good all round compromise between the scrolling issue and resolution of the images

speedibee:
Sorry about the huge size of the photos , I just uploaded from my phone to the laptop and then onto here . I have no idea how to shrink them before posting

seadog:
There's a programme called Faststone which is great for resizing.

Pete.:
You can get re-sizing apps easily enough but the easiest way is to simply set your phone camera to a lower resolution. Image quality won't suffer.
