Hey Bluewv1,
I found that other mill that I was thinking of.
It was a Burke. Here's the link:
http://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/restoring-a-burke-1-horizontal.37722/#post-322600
The similarities:
-the mount points for the countershaft
-the web between the original horizontal spindle and the overarm
the differences:
-the outline of the knee; yours is rounded that Burke is angled
-the bottom of the z-axis screw;
That gap in the original horizontal spindle tube would be where a segmented pinion went to engage a rack for moving the head up/down (just like mine!).
I also finally found some photos of my old Bristol. I will start a new thread for it and post a link here.
