Apologies if this has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find a straight forward answer to this problem.
I just acquired a Hardinge HLV (Predecessor to the HLV-H) and I am working on getting it powered up. However, I'm finding the wiring to be clear as mud. The machine tag on the lathe says 440V, but the motor says 220V, as does the big switch box on the back where the power comes in. I'd feel inclined to roll with this being a 220V machine had this not been the only machine running off the, allegedly, 440V panel at the shop I got it from. I'm confused. Does anyone have any insight into what I'm dealing with here? I have access to a 440v step-up transformer if it's needed.

I'm not sure how to do photos on my phone. If the link doesn't work, I'll try uploading another way later.
