In 1953 the inventor of the Shopsmith 10er developed an interesting industrial drill that's unlike anything I've ever seen.  I found the patent for this some time ago and the base shown was in fact something I've seen in use at the Shopsmith factory in Dayton.  I always assumed that this was as far as it had gone, but I was wrong.  Below is a sales brochure for this tool that I found and purchased recently on eBay.  The patent can be found here: Magna Drill US Patent Art Print
