Boxford Latheとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Boxford Lathe was a brand of lathes produced by Denford Machine Tools from 1946 until 1952. The original factory was in Box Tree Mills, Wheatley, Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. Denford Machine Tools also produced other metalworking tools including precision measuring tools such as an optical comparator. The lathes and other tools were marketed under the name "Box-Ford". The name appears to be a contraction of "Box Tree Mills" and the founder's surname, "Denford". In 1952, the founder, Horace Denford, sold the company to Harrison lathe company and production moved to Brighouse. Harrison was later merged into the Clausing-Colchester-Atlas Press family.
