However, to distinguish between them interchangeable knurled ends were fitted, these being different in appearance though each fits the other. While the two boxes shared many parts, they had distinct differences - except for the handles, these being identical, interchangeable and appear to have been made in the same workshop. By April, 1947, when the final advertisements appeared, the figure had risen to $89.Īnother makers of retro-fit gearboxes for the Atlas, Craftsman and Logan was the O'Brien Machine Company of Chicago, their box looking, perhaps unsurprisingly, very similar indeed to the New-All. At this point the unit was being offered for $75 - in comparison, a complete Craftsman 12-inch had been $125 in 1943 rising to $197 during 1947 (the latter the first post-war year in which they once again became available). Early literature mentions a gearbox casing in aluminium, but later ones were in cast iron - both with bronze bushes for the shafts.Īt first, in addition to 10-inch Atlas lathes (and their Craftsman copies), the box could be supplied to fit machines from Logan and Powerkraft and later, by mid 1946, South Bend 9-inch lathes as well. The date when production started is uncertain, but in November 1945 advertisements appeared proclaiming "New improved model!" - which, assuming this to be true (and such publicity "puffs" rarely were), might put the start some twelve months earlier. "New-All" Norton-type quick-change box was attached by drilling and tapping four holes in the bed. Offered during the mid 1940s, unfortunately just before the maker's screwcutting gearbox became available for Atlas lathes in 1947, the Western Aircraft Tool Co.
