Well done Gloria! Yes! It's for copying small items like cameos in ivory or similar soft material. It is technically known as a medallion machine and is a very clever piece of kit. Newton was throwing it out as he had no use for it, the 1956 lathe was lost at the time. Later when I found the lathe and got my hands on it I completely refurbished the piece....
Now we need another object!
