Well whilst at Lake goldsmith I stared at some grinder Heads for so long they followed me home.

here is one after a bath.

It has a Thomas McPhersons badge but it isn't shown in my book Cat264

I was hoping to get a picture of what the grinding rests originally were like.

This grinder has internal access to the spindle and a dividing bar. I wondered if it could have been internaly driven from below and had a wheel both ends?

Anyine got another catalogue they could check?

First time I have seen one like the ACME with a built in bet shifter.

Not the round boss on the left below the pulley, and the square lipped boss on the right assumedly for a sliding rest mount.

I looked at my 1951 and 1949 McPh. cattledogs and the grinding heads are different to yours with a pulley in the centre between the arms. That one you have looks from the 1920's . Mike
