Verschoyle Patent Mandrel
|
| The Verschoyle Patent Mandrel was a modest lathe aimed at the amateur market and intended to become 'all things to all men'. It was available with a wide range of accessories to permit sawing and hand-turning of wood and soft metals, and eccentric turning. It was designed (by William Denham Verschoyle, 1868-1944) to be fastened to the edge of any convenient bench or work top — but if a self-contained unit was required amongst the list of extras was a twelve shillings and sixpence (12/6) length of wood with two star-shaped feet which enabled the whole machine to be kept together, mounted on a baseboard, ready for use. The machine was marketed in 1918 but was never a financial success.. |
