Période

C.1907-1981

Canada

Manufactured by John Bertram & Sons Co. Ltd., builders of metal working machine tools set up in Dundas, Ontario in 1861. They built tools for railroad, locomotive and car shops, machine shops, rolling mills, steam forges, ship yards and boiler and bridge works. This lathe was acquired from the Sydney & Louisberg roundhouse in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, which was the last steam locomotive shop in eastern Canada.

Fonction

This type of quartering lathe was used to turn locomotive driving wheels and to bore crankpin holes. It was a specialised tool used developed to build and service steam locomotives and ensure the holes on the crankpin were exactly at 90? with their axes parallel to the axle.

Technique

This type of lathe allowed holes to be drilled and bored while the wheels and axles were held in position to ensure accuracy. The lathe was originally driven from a line shaft. Wheel lathes were good for the biggest drivers, and they were similar to boring mills but were turned horizontal. Lathe turns 80 inches.
