The services here did also use QUALOS and MARS and a few other Aust. brands as well during WW2 . I have a New Visby lathe - these were built by Purcell in Sydney during wartime for essential work. Its a pretty rough machine in some respects , the casting looks like a contemporary Asian made low end of the market item ( rough ) but that sort of thing didnt matter during the war .
