George Adams 21/2 centre height precision lathe – HBM chuck – for watchmakers and model makers. Beautifully made, the little George Adams 21/2 centre height precision lathe has been a machine sought after by generations of amateur machinists – especially clockmakers – keen to get their hands on a genuinely high-quality product (though it must be said that the design quirks, present on nearly all George Adams’s products, were present on this version too). Also found badged as the R. Kelly of Manchester & Liverpool, the lathe was almost certainly inspired by German Wolf Jahn practice with very small marks – usually saying just “Germany” in tiny letters – sometimes being found stamped on various parts using that company’s recognisable style. In addition the accessories also confirm such a connection, being constructed in an identical way and directly interchangeable with the Wolf Jahn originals. Made for several decades, from approximately 1900 until the mid 1930s, it had a bed of typically English/German pattern, being flat on top with the location for headstock, carriage and tailstock formed by vertical flat shears between the two ways. An unusual feature was the mounting of the bed feet – they were simply bolted to rather ugly-looking lugs formed at each end of the casting.
