Manuals are available for most Adcock & Shipley millers
Built in early and late versions - the former from the mid-1930s until the lathe 1940s and the latter until the 1960s - the Adcock and Shipley No.2 was a heavy industrial-class machine. Featuring twin round overarms (instead of the more popular one-piece dovetail type preferred by contemporary companies) the miller was nevertheless very rigid and available as the 2B, with reversible automatic feed to the table, and the 2D with a table-cycle facility for production use. Late-model machines are shown at the top of this page, the earlier models lower down.
