B&I Satellite grinding machines

Does anyone remember the old B&I Satellite grinding machines that were advertised in S&T back in the early 70s? I have one, and the manual refers to obtaining an optional "Hand Spindle #95" for working steep curves. I phoned Dick Blick Co. the manufacturer of these machines (They're still in business) but they discontinued their lapidary division in 1977. All their old archives of these items is lost. Does anybody have one of these machines with the #95 hand spindle? I'd like to see a photo or sketch of it so I could duplicate one for myself. Thanks, Bob Piekiel
