Maurice Cann, Grand Prix Champion and some guy... |
|
This lathe was originally owned by Maurice Cann, the famous Grand Prix racer and champion of the 30’s 40’s and 50’s; he was notorious for continually beating the “works” Moto Guzzi GP team on his own home-developed Guzzi “double-knocker”; many of the parts for which were made on this machine. We have now overhauled it and returned it to use as part of our workshop equipment. It’s a very handy tool with a 16” swing and 60” between centres - it can handle BIG stuff as well as small. It’s about a hundred years old and was made by the Monarch Machine Company in Sidney, Ohio, and it’s history gives us lots of satisfaction every time we use it! |
