It's stamped Crown made in England number1.

The little chuck tool holder on the front has a square drive with two grub screws to hold the likes of what I think would be a tap or reamer but not 100% sure. It has gears and appears to drive 1:1 in forward when the shaft is pushed in and in reverse when shaft pulled out. In the middle of being in or out is neutral. It's what makes me think lathe or mill driven tapping device.

Cheers,  it could well be the lathe I bought was off a 90 year old former Lucas brakes engineer. Still working until he was 88. Some reamers in a wooden box I got were his dad's, that makes them very old.

Well after many hours searching online, it's a automatic reverse tapping tool. Runs in drill press mills and lathes. Oldypigeonpopper nailed it.

Apparently you can adjust the clutch so not to break the taps. 

To stop it turning there is one long bar handle fitted and threads for another.

Various makes online.

Still can't find anything or instructions for this one.

I think it being number 1 it's got mt1 shaft with a mt2 on top to fit the myford ml7.

I bought the lathe from Sutton Coldfield,  got my jabs and passport stamped. 

Suppose it could have came from anywhere.

As for ship yards there were loads of them around here. The Tyne the Wear and the Tees along with William Grey's of Hartlepool.

Worked in a few of them over the years sadly gone now.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how nice it was upper Clifton road area. Some very nice and big 1930's houses by looks of them.

Walker have a look at tapmatic and vertex, both seem widely available at different price points.
