Hi all,
I have the same drill press as in Bob Wards photo, as a floor pedestal model. I've seen bench height ones, also on the web. Also have seen one with a third pulley hinged in the middle, for more speeds- looked a very neat factory item.
Now mine is branded 'Premo' in place of 'Servian' on the cast belt cover. The brass tag says it all; 'Manufactured for Goodall & Co. Sydney by Servian...'. And lo! it appears in the 1955 Goodalls catalogue.
Vibrant machine tool industry, in those days.
regs,
AO'C'Waratah' spring hammer by Hands & Scott c.1911- 20, 'Duffy, Todd & Williams' spring hammer c.1920, Premo lathe- 1953, Premo filing machine.

The early proprietor's full name appears as 'Mark Alex Kibel', as here (more court cases);
