The top of the cross slide is also visible thru a gaps in the crate. Two more bits of evidence about what were likely to find here: 1. I will have the opportunity to explore further soon. We may have here a nicely preserved rescue project, or maybe it’s just a hopeless rusty relic. The newspaper wrapped around some of these items is dated 1966. but these are clearly NOT original packing - some of the items on these additional crates are non-Atlas and/or non-lathe-specific. Further smaller wooden crates piled on top contain assorted accessories, including a milling attachment, 4-jaw chuck. The crate and packing prevent us from seeing the ID badge, but I can see enough thru gaps in the crate to recognize it as a 10F without QCGB, but equipped with a vintage-looking cylindrical reversing switch.
It has been there, untouched, for at least several decades. Has anyone out there ever seen an Atlas 10F in its original packing/shipping crate? Perhaps a more pertinent question: Would you be able to recognize such packing from a photo or description? Does a of a copy of MOLO identified as from the “twentieth printing” give useful evidence as to the likely vintage of the lathe it accompanies? The lathe in question is sitting in a garage in a sturdy wooden crate.
