If this is as Tom describes with the belt drive (probably converted to a huge electric motor) it is a real keeper.

When I was in high school many moons ago, we had one in the auto shop. It had been given to them by a local textile mill when they were renovating the mill "fixers" shop. The old shop had been powered by an overhead shaft, with everything on belts. Later it was converted to individual electric motors, and finally they just got new equipment.

There is a guy with a site on the internet that has a shop with this old stuff in it and powers it with a single cylinder flywheel/hit-miss engine.

No, I don't know them. However if it is one of those castiron ones with sweeping arms that hold shafts, with flat belt pullys, and you can count the turns because it is slow, well hang on to it. Great for big drills, hole saws, fly cutters. Does it have an automatic feed?
