Historians might get this easier that woodies but it is/was a woodworking machine dating from the early 1800's.... So what does it do/make?
 
Well it seems to say Morticing machine on the drawing so i guess its a morticer :wink:
 
For any cast iron anoraks like me :lol: "Name that Machine" will reappear over the Christmas break - at about the time that urge to fill myself with turkey and stuffing is about to pall......

Scrit

And a Morticer it is, but what does it mortice?
Anyone want to guess who built it? remember it was the first ever built.
 
LN - my guess is that this is part of Marc Brunel's suite of machinery installed at Portsmouth dockyard in 1802 for making ships blocks, the first industrial production line in the world - Rob
