Provenance
Sir David Salomons (1st Baronet) and his nephew (2nd Baronet) of the same name successively owned Holtzapffel lathe No. 2021, now in the Whipple Museum at Cambridge. The Salomon's house, Broomhill Park near Tunbridge Wells, was famous as one of the first houses lit by electricity, and the second Sir David organised, in 1895, the first British motor show, in Tunbridge Wells.
