Information Sought On Blc Wood Turning Lathe

[NorfolkNog]

Just wondered if any of you folks had any information as above? I think John used to work for Hunters. Sure any help would be appreciated.

I've been in touch with a fellow vintage radio enthusiast who also does wood turning. He has a database of woodworking machinery but no luck, must be a very small manufacturer. I've suggested John might consult Norwich council archives who might have a record. 

Worth a shout though, thanks for looking!

I'd had a good look around, even asked a couple of old friends. I even went as far as reverse image searching to logo and found absolutely nothing. You'd have though any company big enough to be producing big tools like that would have at least some digital footprint, even if just in archives.

they mostly made metalworking turret lathes, and were taken over in 2004 by a small custom motor parts shop, Britan Lathe company was what i could find

The initials probably stand for B**** Lathe Company. Loads to choose from here  http://www.lathes.co.uk/  but I haven't spotted that particular logo.
