    Hi Camo,

    I have a lathe made by Jarman Bros, Shepherd St Sydney. Below are a few photos for reference. It would be good if anyone has any information on this maker.

    Chers, Vann.
    Okay, so Louis Eichmann appear to have been machinery agents (they were the agents for the Chaco guides on my bandsaw).

    However it seems they may have also manufactured some machinery, or had it manufactured for them.

    A google search suggests they were in business between 1956 and 1992. First in Hobson St, then 169 Great North Road, and finally at 39 Huia St, Otahuhu - all in Auckland, NZ.

    Cheers, Vann.

    It's just interesting browsing through the classifieds in Trove.
    Check out the Machinery section from 1946.
    There is a lot of choice. Certainly a lot more than today.
    21 Sep 1946 - The Sydney Morning Herald - p17
    Some rich research material there!

    Thanks John, I was hoping you would jump in on this one as we have spoken about J.S.Richardson before.
    I can say that with out a doubt that the firm is no relation to D. Richardson who made those nice big cast iron blowers that you and I like so much.

    I was toying with the idea of on top of having the list, perhaps putting together a collage (for want of a better word) of badges, something like this:
    If you can find tags and post them, I will put them together and post it up (there is a lot of useful detail in some of these badges, so it would probably make for a useful reference once complete). It would be best ,if you find the image online to try as best you can to credit the source. The above as you can see are from this thread (except the Artisan, which is from a post Melbourne Matty did).

    Cheers,

    Camo

    P.S. No I'm not taking up scrap booking as a hobby
    Here's a few then ....

    I contacted Servian for some information on my drill in the early 1980's and at that time they had a branch or their headquarters in Belfield NSW. He explianed they imported and re-badged machinery from all over the world. My gear head drill for instance was made in Sweden.

    As an apprentice I used to work for a company that did all A.E. Herbert's printing in the 1960's.

    Default Name plates.

    Here's a couple more tags.
    My father served his time at Buzacotts before the war.
    They sold all manner of farming gear, drag saws etc and of course stationary engines and Wolsley shearing hand pieces.
    We had a lot of these tags but they got used as soft jaws over the years.

    Default Dyco

    I was trying to find more info on Dyco, for this thread. Google brings up many Dycos' in NZ. Some were reincarnations of the woodworking machine manufacturer, others in different lines of business. Dyco Manfacturing Ltd; Dyco Industries Ltd; Dyco International Ltd; Dyco Machinery Ltd...
    So I searched Trademe, hoping to find a good clear manufacturer's tag...

    Dyco2.jpg
    This one is not exactly clear. It says "DYCO, Dyco Industries Ltd" and gives an address in Great South Road, Auckland. Dyco Industries Ltd was incorporated 22nd May, 1987. It is not longer trading ("struck off")

    DycoLE.jpg
    I can't read this one, but it's interesting that Louis Eichmann were the agents.

    Then I remembered the 4 1/2" buzzer I was given a year ago (and have never used), is a Dyco

    It's tag says "DYCO, Manufactured by HJB Engineering Co. Ltd., 178 Station Rd, Penrose, Auckland, NZ". I can't find any reference to HJB Engineering Co. Ltd on google.

    Cheers, Vann.

    Also a merchant plate on my bandsaw. S. Robertson Pty Ltd. 23 Niagara Lane, Melb.
    The plate is very similar to the Barker plate picture below, (from Matty)
    The buildings in Niagara lane are magnificent, and still have the pulley mounts for lifting machinery.
    Have a look at Google maps....look up....
    23-25 Niagara Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000

    Cheers,

    I was on niagara lane last night looking at those exact buildings wondering what would have been made in there! They are beautiful old buildings.
