Camel Back Drill
I would like any information about this Camel back drill
Belt driven is in good nick and was used till 4 weeks ago.
I can see that the bottom shaft is cut off just after the big V-belt pulley.
On the casting is " British Make"? and a bit lower Type E. see picture.
Can any one tell me more about this drill and who made it ?
I have one reply from tony@Lathes.co.uk,
In his email he states that these type of drills where made from 1900 till about 1930 by Denbigh, Kitchen&Wade and Kitchen& Walker.
Small ones like this are unusual and now rare. Surprisingly bigger ones seem to have survived in larger numbers.
After a clean up I will use this in my workshop.
