What is a triple S lathe

dimanche 29 juin 2014

Hi all,

I have been asked by a mate who is doing the history of an engineering firm.

The list of contents in the shop in 1909 has listed a S.S.S. Lathe.

This lathe hails (obviously) from pre 1909 and is listed as an 8" S.S.S. lathe.

I can't for the life of me think what the three s' mean

Also listed was an S.C. lathe which I assumed was Screw Cutting.

Later in the inventory they had a quantity of 10, S.S.S., so the triple s' may be what the lathe was built to machine or make.

Any ideas??



Phil
