[Bell Historians] Old Glass negative on eBay...

I wondered if that was the Whitechapel machine and compared the photo with the engraving. Very similar. Most of the pics appear to be taken in the London area. You can actually save the images for free.... M

I’ve looked at the photo in the Taylor archives, though, and – while very similar in many respects – it’s clearly NOT the same machine. Also, the machine in the e-Bay slide does resemble the Whitechapel machine shown in the famous 1860s engravings – with the forked shaft positioned inside the bell.
