Hello, first time here and hopefully not the last!
I recently acquired a decent sized metal turning lathe, but other than knowing it's a Harrison, the spec is a mystery. Most of the plates that give the details about gearing an speed etc are very difficult to read. Of course there is no literature with it.
So, where would be a good place to start trying to identify it? I can start using it now for simple turning, but I'd like to use the threading and autofeed as well, and these are a bit beyond my experience / memory.
Thanks!
Need some help identifying a lathe, please!

We have a Harrison M400 (i think)at work.
The site linked to above should help, not a lot of lathe info thats not on there!
