Yes it is a precision Matthews 1022 lathe.
I have had a PM 1022 lathe for the last three years a very nice machine, but a bit on the light side, and I find that changing the gear train to cut threads a real P.I.T.A. I also ordered an extra backing plate, with the intention of mounting an er collet chuck, but never got around to doing the job. They don't have one in stock at this time, and I would not hold my breath waiting for one to come in. as I have been waiting for two years for some extra change gears that I ordered. It would not be much of a job to mount a er collet chuck in your 4 jaw. chuck.
