The following six catalogs track the development of the well-known and widely-copied South Bend 9-inch "Workshop" lathe. From its beginnings in 1933/4 as a simple but well-made depression-era model, it was to become, in 1940, a lathe with a very much more advanced specification together with a wider choice of drive systems. The final deployment of the lathe - the 'Light Ten' - is covered in the catalog for the 1950s.
