Mystery Machine

[Dave Hughes]

Recntly came across some pics of this machine, via a link from the Letpress list.

Described only as foundry equipment. Anyone know what this machine is?

I thought at first it might be a Monotype Caster, but I'm not sure and perhaps showing my ignorance here! 

I'm not expecting this to run for long, but what is this machine?

Can't believe no one's solved this yet! Is it a Monotype?

This reply received by email from Gregory Walters:

The machine is a Stephenson Blake pivotal caster. I think they were 
built in-house by SB. While other typefounders did most of their 
casting on machines of the Küstermann/Foucher/Barth model, SB 
continued to use pivotal casters. I do not know of any other major 
typecaster that stuck with pivotals.
