    Jim, we had some discussion on these way back, probably 8 or so years ago. I went searching here and the thread(s) are gone. The three that did come up were not very descriptive.

    If you do a Google/Bing search there's lots of info online, including this outfit that is doing a more modern version: http://www.axialflow.com/history.htm He has a brief Latham history blurb.

    During the discussion here back when, I got interested in doing a search for the original company. Ended up in a brief email exchange with the son of the founder. He appreciated hearing that there was still some interest in his father's work. He said he didn't have anymore units "just lying around", nor did he have the tooling. The family had sold the tooling to some fellow who thought he was going to continue/revive production, but never did. He no longer had contact for that guy. Interesting, historic hardware.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
