Re: Hubs

As a retired engineer in the UK, I also have similar Michael Kaempf machines to the two you show. These were used in banknote plate preparation rather than coin or type foundry work. I also have the Kaempf geometric lathe to go with them. The pantograph miller was used for preparing "molettes" to do rosette pattern based medallion ruling work on the geometric lathe. I see that your machine has the linear to rotary convertor used in this process. If you wish to find a new home for this device please let me know as the one on my machine is missing.
I am interested in anything to do with these geometric lathes in the security printing business and have developed a large historic file on the subject. I am particularly interested in procuring a Chapman machine and a medallion ruling machine.
