The Super 7 was produced in 1953 as an improved version of the original Myford ML7 lathe. There were several updates, the obvious being the re-designed headstock, the longer cross slide and the increased diameter leadscrew. There are some images of my own example on this page, these are linked to larger images, but be aware some of these are ~1Mb each.
The image below shows the Super 7 lathe as it was when I got it. At this time I had not mounted it on a stand. It is just resting on the bench and not usable like this - but a lot easier to access. The adjustable spanner is a metric one (it claims to be 250mm) so clearly it could not be used on this lathe, which is Imperial.

The Clutch
A particularly useful addition to the ML7 was a clutch, this allowed the motor to run without drive to the spindle and for the spindle drive to be taken up gradually. This really helps when using a single phase motor. This optional extra for the ML7 was provided as standard with the Super 7 and makes an enormous difference to the ergonomics of the machine.
