    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,

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