Lots of lathes in this one.

Once saw a shop very similar go up at auction,highest price paid for a lathe like the ones pictured was $300.00 all were in good shape.

I worked in an old line shaft shop set up in a cotton gin,you had to be careful when you backed away from your machine,otherwise you would get tangled up in the backgears of the machine behind you if someone was running it.I still love to hear the sounds made by flat belt lacings slapping pulleys.

Doesn't look like much room to be stumbling around.
Definatly not enough to swing a cat.
