This is a copy of the Holtzapffel Catalogue, although not dated by reading the text it has to be post 1901. This copy is alas in rather poor condition, so some of the images are not the best despite being enhanced as far as possible.There arent any chapters as such so this will just be ten pages per section. But it makes interesting reading and the prices are quite amazing. Especially if you consider the cost of a basic house in those distant times was about £150.

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT , H.M. THE LATE KING EDWARD VII.

In presenting this, their Illustrated Catalogue, to their customers and

the public, Messrs. HOLTZAPFFEL & Co. regard it as there pleasant

duty to return most grateful thanks to the their numerous and distinguished

Patrons for the kind and continuous supposrt their house has had the good

fortune to experience during a period which extends over a century.

Street. After 25 years at that address it was moved in 1819, to No. 64,

Charing Cross, then described as "opposite The King's Mews," where it

remained until 1901, when the site being required for building purposes,

Messrs. HOLTZAPFFEL had no option but to acquire other premises.

Messrs. HOLTZAPFFEL & Co. have a workroom for the instruction

of Amateurs, fitted up with the latest patterns of Lathes and Tools used in

COMPLETE LATHES.

DESCRIPTIONS ONE TO EIGHTEEN.

______________________

The greater number of the Lathes, Descriptions one to eighteen, are

specified as of five-inch centre, and these have bearers 3 feet 3 inches

long. Lathes of this size are recommended for amateur and work

shop use, as being most generally convenient, as they are sufficiently

large for the largest pieces of ivory and hardwood commonly met with, and

to allow proportionate degree of strength in the numerous additional

apparatus, without being unweildy or inconvenient from excessive friction in

their moving parts. The bearers of Lathes of 4-inch height of centre are

usually 2 feet 10 inches long, 5 inch centre are 3 feet 3 inches long, and those

of Lathes of 6 or 7 inches are from 4 to 7 feet in length as may be required.

The frames may be as specified, or they may be of wood or iron as desired.

For occasional purposes, the rage of the 5-inch Lathe may be increased

by using lifting pieces or raising blocks, and in length by lengthening bearers,

or bearers of any length will be provided.

In selecting turning apparatus, many amateurs prefer to begin with a

small outfit, and gradually to extend it by successive additions. Much of the

apparatus is constructed with the object of facilitating this, and most of the

Lathes may be thus advanced to the condition of those higher up in the scale

of completeness. For example, it will be seen by examining the following

descriptions that the Lathe Description Five (£38) may be converted into the

most complete of those with beechwood frames, and the Lathe description

Ten (£75) may be rendered, by additions, equal or superior to the Lathe

Description Eighteen, the most elaborate of those specified.

Any of the Lathes in the following list will be modified in any way that

may be desired, by the addition, omission, or exchange of apparatus, the

descriptions and particulars of which are more fully described in the

subsequent pages on detached Lathe apparatus.
