That Aveling roller is interesting, I spoke to the chap at Dorset, a piston valve engine with a 14xx headstock, now my hearing is not perfect, 20 years of Aveling ownership! but I,m, sure he said that it was ordered for export with a heavier front end, thus the non standard front end, does that mean they were already casting those headstocks, and is this the first Aveling with one?
