Question re: Atlas metal lathe

A friend of mine has recently purchased a mid 1950's Atlas metal lathe. It's all there except for the chuck and the drive motor and pulley. I have set him up with a 3 jaw chuck, and the literature he has suggest using a 1/2 hp. motor. What he really needs to know is the outside diameter of the drive pulleys which go on the motor. His literature shows a 2 step v-pulley, but no reference is made to the pulley diameters. Does anyone out there own a similar Atlas lathe, and if so, what diameters are the 2 step v-pulleys that go on the motor.----Brian

Atlas made several different sizes.

There is a lot of info at https://www.lathes.co.uk/atlas/

Which size lathe is it? I have a British made atlas 10" clone with a twin V pulley set up. if the same size lathe I can measure my pulleys

Today I got some more information on my friends Atlas lathe. It is a 10" F series lathe catalogue number TH42 and TH54. My friend lives about 20 miles from me, and I don't have the lathe here in my shop.---Brian

Looks close enough to mine, I'll measure the pulleys after work tomorrow for you
