Calling Matt?To stop the moving jaw falling out onto your foot, I would guess.
It's too far back for that. Time for a rethink
I will have to try and pull it out!

As Seadog says, that's the nut retaining pin. It goes all way through the housing and nut. If you're not planning on stripping it down, just gently tap it back to flush, making sure that it's aligned with the hole in the bottom of the body first.

Acquire more, its the prescribed remedy to calm and temporarily relieve the affliction.

Then give all to me.
Then you can collect more.

Strange,
Looking through my 1950 Rev 16 Pocket Record Tools catalogue it differs in some quite important areas to the one downloaded by CW of the same date and odd its the same revision 16
I wonder if there were two out the same year? Looks as though some vice ranges were changed from Steel to Pearlic malleable Iron, a whole range of Floor vices dropped, machine vices added and the 27 and 28/28s dropped.

Machine vices were present in the 1930s though. Just because it isn’t in the catalogue doesn’t mean it was dropped. As you’ve already pointed out there are multiple editions floating about. The machine vices are rather thin on the ground (not including the 412 which is still made). I am finishing the restoration on one, a 634, it’s a very nice piece of equipment indeed and quirky too being a Record. Even with jaw fully open it is not one bit unstable.

An ongoing process. Two applications down and counting...
Very nice that DK!
Suppose it makes sense leaving ranges out when that part of the foundry is worked up for he foreseeable.
Probably why i'm having trouble finding my steel 83.
Interesting they changed from steel to pearlic malleable iron
likely to be easier to cast and more economical to make, wonder if it was as strong?

Mid/post-war usually signifies the change to iron. It’s got the same properties as cast steel. I believe early steel ones were painted red and iron blue, but it all went a bit muddled after the war so they reverted to just blue for the main range and red for the imp and the auto vice.
Also, don’t leave us out in the cold, post some pics!

I have just contacted York the Vice people
After the picture your bench vice is produced from 1956-1972
The body of bench vices is cast iron GG25-30 , other parts are steels
So how would this compare to a record? I am still keeping it as I like it!

The largest is Fortis 12 QR. Probably a later type with the flat Screw nose with worn jaws removed.
Next is Fortis 10 QR eatlier type with round screw nose, needs new jaws and T bar. Both have very good castings and have a handy anvil on the back. Both jaws bolt from rear.
Next is Record 84 QR steel (pre 1950)with round screw nose and jaws bolted from rear. Needs jaws and Tbar straightening.
Last is Record 83 QR steel (pre 1950) the smallest. Jaws screwed from front which may be later than the 84 which are bolted from the rear. This one needed a half nut recut and the T bar straightening which is done now works fine. Next job make some jaws and a t bar for the Fortis 10
