Bob :
You likely know all this, but JIC :
Lindsay Publications sells several reprints of original South Bend lathe
books, including "How to Run a Lathe" and a collection of 8 smaller "How
To" booklets from SB. See
http://www.lindsaybks.com/
to request a catalog.
'Home Shop Machinist' has several resources, including advertisers that
sell SB parts and a 'Third Hand' column where you can ask for things
like copies of someone's manual and specific questions. I recommend a
subscription to both it and it's sister publication 'Projects in
Metal'. They also have an on-line 'Third Hand' forum. See
Http://www.homeshopmachinist.net/
http://bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/ubbs/Ultimate.cgi
Usenet has a large and very active newsgroup, with lots of retired (and
some active) professional machinists, as well as lots of amateurs of
varying levels. Newbies are welcome.

Old machinery manuals come up on eBay frequently, I paid about $15 for
an original owner's manual for my Atlas.
Hope this helps
