Hi Greg, and welcome. What old lathe have you got?

Another place that might be useful on the subject is the Antique Machines forum on Practical Machinist site (http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/forumdisplay.php/antique-machinery-and-history-19.html), although tends to be a little US oriented unsurprisingly.
