Hoping this is an easy one for you neander-creekers to answer. I have a Millers Falls No 2. hand drill in excellent condition but I'm unsure whether it has the correct chuck. Everything checks out according to George Langford's type study, with the drill appearing to be a No 2i as the chuck has a patent date of Oct 23rd 1900. What casts doubt on this is the amount of exposed threads on the drill shaft. Any reason why this would be? Other than it being a miss-match and not having the correct chuck?
