Yeah, flip through that "How to Run a Lathe" manual you've got and you'll see a whole pile of weird techniques for doing unusual operations on a lathe equipped with centers or a four-jaw chuck.

From the font on the plate and the fact that it says "capacitor" instead of "condenser", I'd guess that is no more than 30 years old.

Now I'm curious about the exact date of that motor, though, so I started thinking about the other marks. I thought the CSA marking would be a good way to put a baseline date on it of whenever that mark was introduced. The year? 1946 :v:

Dayton Electric was purchased by Grainger in 1966 so you could maybe give them a call and see if they have records of that model number.
