Shown on this page, here and also here, is a selection of machines from a Swiss collector. Beautifully presented - though perhaps over-polished - they represent the Swiss Universal as produced from the early to mid 1800s.

Probably an even earlier model with a separate steel-bar bed and the spindle driven not by gearing but a far less effective rope and pulley system.
