Dave.

p.s.  It's in

The Shop>Tools>  Don't try this at home.

I note it is a year ago tomorrow that I took the picture of the bed.

Fergus OMore:
Yes, indeed, David

Last night, I wrote to two of helpers  giving details of your machine. You might not know but I'd worked it out.

Regards

andyf:
According to http://www.lathes.co.uk/bantam/page2.html , the headstock and bed were integrated in a single casting on pre-war Bantams. But Dave's "Don't try this at home" thread shows his bed stripped down for painting, with no headstock in sight.

Fergus OMore:
Agreed Andy but I do recall Tubal Cain writing about the origins of lathes and - as best as he was able - to identify where all the bits actually had their beginning.  Bantams were made over a long time span and I note that Myfords were also subject to 'loose heads' and cast in heads.

Yonks ago, I was wanting spares for a Zyto - sold by Sam Tyzack and Myford refused to confirm that the change gears were actually theirs.
Under my desk is a vertical slide- ostensibly from the Zyto but it has Myford casting numbers on it.

Conclusion- don't quite rely on what is written-- even from me.
