T Gaunt Optician, Melbourne - Equatorial mount

I have a "T Gaunt Optician, Melbourne" ultra heavy duty Equatorial mount. The Eq head is around the 60 Kg mark, and the vast iron pier is around the 80 Kg mark.

The unit is dual axis (without drives, worms or wheels and motors) and I want to motorise it in both axes, and seek the appropriate engineering supplier to assist me in getting the system motorised.

Also if sone I In S'ers have some information about T Gaunt and the gear he made, as web research provides little supporting information.

Thanking the team for their support and guidance.
