Picked up the rare Wohlhaupter UK4 taper boring head. It is an amazing piece of engineering!

Apparently there were only about 100 made. A forum post I found states they contacted Wohlhaupter and the company stated they have no info on it nor do they know the internals or possess a manual. Since it was made in the 40s or so, the people who worked on it are long since gone.
