NorfolkNog Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceSwinger Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
