Hello,

Have seen references to Hercus 9" lathes with various combinations of letters attached.

ARM, ARH, ARL, AU, AH AR etc

Havent been able to find a web page that will decipher them for me.

Best I can do is AR means a model A with roller bearings in the headstock.

Any good web pages for deciphering the rest of the alphabet soup ?

Cant help with all .
ARM roller bearing A model Metric.
ARH roller bearing A model Imperial with Horizontal drive or possibly Hardened bed (the hard bed may of been a 260 option).
ARL roller bearing A model Imperial with 49" bed (standard 40").
AH plain bearing A model Imperial with Horizontal drive or possibly Hardened bed (the hard bed may of been a 260 option ).

Allterrain and Pipeclay,

Thanks - I found not knowing what those things meant to be quite frustrating.
