Getting a Handle on a Wadkin CK
This is just curiosity on my part: the Pull Handle.
When I look at pictures of Wadkin's “baby” radial arm saw – the CK – most have a simple pull handle consisting of a handle with a 90° bend.

And the only cattledog cut of a CK I’ve come across (the 1936 catalogue from VM) shows just such a handle.
But when I bought parts off a munted Wadkin-Bursgreen BCK, it came with a more elaborate handle.

This handle had been modified (there was a coarse weld just before the thread that screws into the motor housing) and a hole that had nothing in it. I figured something had been lost.
But lately some CKs have been listed over here, with the same handle, and the same empty hole.

Any ideas what the hole is for?
