Good one I was able to either download it, if I wanted to, or open it with a program that opens a .doc file, OpenOffice in my case.
One suggestion is to either have a date or a version number as part of the file name.
Here is the information formatted in an Excel Spreadsheet.

There is also another spreadsheet with the list of Wadkin Model Numbers.
This isn't complete but I've listed which catalogues each model appears in.
I only have access to public posted PDFs which aren't complete.

Another pattern mill for your list, this one is a very late one
WX413 Sno. 73681Attachment 413559
The idea that Wadkin started their numbering at 105 sounds bizarre, just some random number they plucked out of the ether!
Well that's one for the true aficionados to worry about.
Have fun,
Alli
Edited, I forgot, this one is in the US, up for auction at the moment with a lot of tooling.
Heres a weird one an AGS with a 6 digit number

Well according to Wallace's dating list, that mill with a no. 73681 is early 1966.
Have fun,

Here is the tag on a MA mortiser I just purchased.

Life was simple when we thought RDA meant an AC powered RD, and RDD meant a DC powered RD - while a straight RD meant the belt driven option. Then someone came up with an RDV...
And an RBV...
Attachment 419821 RBV 265.
Okay, so maybe a straight RD/RB is flat belt drive, and RDV/RBV indicates vee belt drive?
But then someone at Wadkin decided to make a JQM...
Attachment 419820 JQM 436.
What the... ?
It's a good thing they got rid of those 3rd letters before they started putting a B (for Bursgreen) in front of everything :roll:.
Cheers, Vann :).

Hi Dave. I've only been collecting numbers up to ~1960, as after the merger/buy-out of Bursgreen (~1954) the numbering system gets muddied. Some machines still use the old Wadkin Test No. system, others (such as this one) don't.
I would guess this one dates to 1969 - but that's only a guess.
Cheers, Vann.
