OK here's one:

ANyone know anything about Pratt & Whitney machines?  I have been asked to 
appraise a blacksmith shop for an estate, and one P&W machine is the only 
piece of equipment I am not familiar with.  Only got a quick look so far, 
ubt here's what I have:It appears to be a vertical shaper.  Stands about 5 
feet tall, flat bed but no rotary bed,had cranked horizontal adjustments, 
both lateral and front to back, vertical power stroke of about 6".  Driven 
by 1 or 2 horse motor with a belt drive, heavy gears encased in very heavy 
cast rion body.  Much smaller and simpler than the P&W Model B, but much 
larger and heavier than a bench shaper.  Didn't see a odel number on it, but 
am going back today to look closer.

Lots of other goodies in the shop, including an 1835 William FOster  anvil 
160 lb

More later
