Any ideas on what this machine, and machinist are doing? It looks like a dividing head index plate on the left and that may have something to do with the gear. . . And that's all I've got.

[BigLakeBob]

I though possibly a winding machine, with the wire coming down to a commutator. Did any magnetos or generators have a double tapered shaft? Doesn't look like a gear to me. The fluorescent lights could date the machine.

I would love to know if this 1937 EL has factory paint. Previous years' paint schemes were available special order. Jerry

Good question Jerry. The photo looks to be in period and there is very little wear on the kicker pedal. Someone has spent money on the chrome package and saddlebags, and that looks like the optional cadmium front wheel rim. I note black handgrips instead of the standard white. The tank decal is 1934/5, with the striping not quite correct for 1934. Owners often modernised their bikes with later decals, so it is unusual to see this earlier one, although the 1933 bird was always popular. It looks like first paint, but it would be nice to know for sure.
