Another 'guess the lathe' post...

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Looks like a pair of EMI mechanical lathes (gravitation drive!) equipped with Blumlein electrical cutterheads (that's the E in Electronic Music Industry)
I'm not sure but guess Columbia also had similair lathes - that was a common design back then... with moving Platter instead of head/carriage!

Cheers

Yes I agree; the bodies look like the old Lindstrom lathes that were common in Europe back in the day.
