The first lathe I did real paid work on had about 30" swing and 24'
bed; we needed the through hole in the spindle to run 10" stem
through, so that pretty much sized the rest of the lathe.  It still
feels funny to thread something as small as 8TPI after making the
drill stem collars with .5 TPI (or something that looked that large). 
Air kickout at the end of the cut, too, cause if you missed pulling
the tool all hell would break looks (as well as the toolpost, etc.),
but the kickout sounded like a pistol going off all the time.

Heck, some of the stuff I would on now wouldn't have made good chips
