And it took a while to get close to caught up. I already answered part of your question, but not all of it. There was only one 6” steady rest and one 6” follower rest ever made. The only difference over the years was the paint color. The only things that Atlas build that ever had the full assembly model number on them were the nameplates on the lathes, mills, shapers, etc. The numbers visible on cast parts are the casting number and finished part number of the casting. They didn’t put part numbers on machined parts. But if you have also a Follower Rest, you will see three different part numbers on the three cast parts. None of which is actually the Follower rest model number. In most cases, the model number is one number lower than the lowest cast part number. If the assembly was originally made for the 6”, then usually the model number begins with M6.
