Found in New Zealand but of Canadian origin, the first General woodworking shown below is one of the Company's simpler models. Like other lathes by General it bears a passing resemblance to that produced by Walker Turner, while - with the exception of the first shown that has just a 4-speed V-belt countershaft - also having infinitely variable-speed drive. Heavily built, and fitted with its original bowl-turning bracket on a home-made stand, the lathe appears to have a centre height of around 6 inches and take perhaps 48 inches between centres. If an owner can add more information about these General lathes - or offer copies of sales catalogs - the writer would be pleased to hear from you.
