In the listing from 1939 they are shown as R.S.Brookman Ltd so there was a slight name change. From Co. to Ltd
R.S.Brookman Ltd are known for their dovetailer, which on the ones I have seen don't have an RSB logo but a Brookman logo.
[
- A 1938 issue of The Architect & Building News has a news snippet:R. S. BROOKMAN LTD.—This firm are showing for the first time at the Building Exhibition. Their principal machines will be a versatile dovetailer, equally at home on mineral water boxes and high-grade cabinet work, and a mortiser, adaptable for single pieces or for fast repetitive work.
- Listed in a 1992 issue of Wood Technology as a maker of mortisers and dovetailers.

Yes I also think R S Brookman "Ltd" that made woodworking machinery from the 1930s onward is a different firm to R S Brookman "& Co" of 1917 or so.
DSEL I think your machine is much earlier than 1917 note also the article says that they could put together 140 different patterns or styles !

Richard Samuel Brookman… R.S. Brookman & Co.
Looks like he had a partner (who didn't get his name on the door) and bought him out on the 16th March 1912.
