sidney metal lathe

[grumpygator]

Seeking any info i can get on a Sidney Machine Tool Company lathe.It has a ten inch center to bed length.So i guess that makes it a twenty inch swing.The bed is seventy two inchs from the face of the three jaw chuck to the end of the bed rails.It has a Eight position speed change spoke wheel as follows:N 13 20 32 79 122 195 300 .I found Numbers stamped on bed rails near the tail stock end "lot 180 #5012". This was my uncles lathe and he had it for as long as i can remember.HE passed last month and left it to me as i had been helping him in the shop whenever i could. He was navy trained and served on the USS FORREST SHERMAN DD-931.He did his best to teach me so I will try to keep up the work.Thank you in advance for any help.Just so you know I am new to computers and only type with one finger.If i can figure it out i will try to post some pics.
