I think he is talking about a manual tracer lathe but not sure. I don't believe there were any tracer lathes in the 19th century. I have run huge overhead beltWell of course! The 19th C copy gunstock was only as good as the master!

driven lathes made by the Gisholt machine manufacturing corp. I was turning 14 foot long seven inch diameter drive shafts in the eighties on a lathe from
1898. A side note. I worked for a company who built the stepdown transformers you see on the poles for homes. This was around 2000 to 2005. The blueprints
were from 1929, copies from earlier ones, nothing had changed.
