Got it. So a WW lathe will have that graduated drive pulley for different speeds and similar setup for the bed and tailstock, but they won't be fully compatible with one another in terms of parts. Thanks! The picture helps a lot. -
If only things were so easy...😀. Both lathes in this picture are WW-style lathes.. nuff said? 😉

Excellent info, thank you! So when you say "conforms to the standard" does that mean, for example, that parts are interchangeable between brands and ages, or that you could use accessories built for that 110-year old one on a newer one that was built in the 1990s? Also, thank you for taking the time to answer my questions and your patience. -
It was first a brand, but became a standardized style. So you will find some older lathes actually marked "Webster Whitcomb" and many other makers who built WW lathes conforming to the same dimensions for spindle height, bed shape, attachment setup, collet size and design. https://www.lathes.co.uk/derbyshire/ So when someone mentions a WW lathe today, they are talking about any lathe that conforms to the standard, which could be a 110 year old American made lathe or a European made lathe from the 1960s or something else.

Hi guys, just a little thank you for the CLOCKBARN site in America. I purchased a TIMETRAX APMLIFIER to help with setting clocks in beat from CLOCKBARN it arrived on time and when tested worked ok. A week later I had occasion to need it again, this time nothing the unit was dead. Checked out batteries , probes etc , nothing. I messaged CLOCKBARN to this effect. I got a prompt reply that he would send a replacement which duly arrived today and having tested it it’s ok. So I can recommend the site should you need to use it. The person,persons who run it are genuine guys. So thank you CLOCKBARN for your excellent service.
