An unusual Gosmeta lathe, found in 2020, was a Model D110; with a centre height of around 125 mm and a capacity between centres of perhaps 500 mm, this was a rugged, well-built, toolroom-class lathe of which few appear to survive.
Cast as a single, rigid assembly with its chip tray, the straight, gapless bed used conventional V and flat ways. Driven from a robust countershaft - with a twin V-belt drive from the motor and a single A-section belt to the headstock - the lathe appears to have been fitted with a double-speed backgear, the arrangement giving a total of twelve spindle speeds.
Driven by changewheels through a tumble-reverse mechanism (carried internally on the inside, left-hand wall of the headstock casting) a simple, fully-enclosed,  screwcutting and feeds gearbox was fitted. Instead of being the traditional Norton tumbler type, this was a simple sliding-gear box that gave four different pitches for each setting of the changewheels; surprisingly, for such a well-constructed lathe, no power cross feed was incorporated in the drive
Fully machined on all surfaces, the compound slide rest assembly had fully-protected feed screws and relatively small but crisply engraved micrometer dials.
The tailstock - resembling the type found on high-class, "bench precision" lathes - had a spindle with an enormously long travel and a cut-out window in the top face of the casting to view the ruler graduations.
Mounted on a cast-iron column at the tailstock end of the bed, the on-off-forward-reverse switch was of Italian manufacture - hinting that the lathe may have come from Gosmeta's factory in Legnano, to the north-west of Milan.
If you have a Gosmeta D110 lathe, or a model similar to it, the writer would be pleased to hear from you.
