	Came into this late.  That is a garden variety two-jaw chuck.
	I had two of them, down to one... (actually Mike Rock has that
	one).  One was an "Imperial"... other may have been the same.

	Arizona (before I moved there) with one of those chucks
	for something like $75.  He made out like a thief.

	I don't really regret it, just would love to have it now.
