Well done Tom !
I have to admit to looking at that quite a bit and still being stumped on what seemed a very elaborate set-up for a key machine. The possibility of it being for code cutting didn’t even enter my head, although the full size chip tray did suggest it was used for banging out quantities of whatever they were!
Tbh I don’t think I’d have guessed Ava’s as we cut ours so simple in comparison to that one ! In the early days with an Ava turret on a rattly old Mancuna and then replaced that with a posh new Silca set-up permanently with the Ava/Abloy carriage.
I wouldn’t mind having a go on that or seeing it at work just for old times sake.
Heres the machine in question in case the link ever gets broken
