Drill Press part ID

[LoveOldIron]

An ID and any info on the "hold down" would be much appreciated. I can't seem to find anything on it. It's on an old Delta dp220, but I can't find it in any old Delta catalogs. Walker Turner either, for that matter. Thanks.

I recently picked up a Delta Drill Press that also had a hold down that looked much different than this. Mine had a patent number stamped on it so I did a search for the patent where I found more information.

I'm thinking it's just a work stop, aftermarket accessory. It also kind of looks like it might be on backwards and the arms upside down? Seems it would fit the press better if the rod was in front of the column, rather than behind, and if the arms were flipped over, looks like they would lay flat on the table?

Unfortunately it's not mine, so I can't check out the stamping. I may go check it out tomorrow, and I'd just like to know what I'm looking at. That way I know if it's complete, if it adds value...... I used to deal with a lot of those old Deltas and WTs, and I've never seen anything like it.
