Odd Milling machine identification

[Pevehouse]

Hello everyone, I have acquired a strange mill that I believe was once used to machine cylinder heads and blocks and things such as that. Was hoping you guys could chime in and help me identify this Goliath. There’s no identification tags or marks anywhere that I can find. Looks as if someone at some point installed a single phase motor. There is one casting mark that is a circle with a K in the middle. This thing is truly a giant. Not sure what she weighs in at but it took 2 fork lifts to get her on the trailer. Anyhow, thank you for any input you can offer. Here’s some pictures of the beast

Crazy thing is all of the movements are still buttery smooth, which I guess is a plus

I have searched everything I can think of to no avail. Either it’s too old or it’s something totally different from what I think it is.Lol

Hell, it may be a lumber mill for all I know but it appears to be setup like a metal mill

Found it. It’s an old Van Norman cylinder head and block mill. Or at least made on the exact same platform as the Van Norman. Maybe someone will chime in that knows something about this machine. I doubt it but that would be
