'Goodway' is a marketer's name stuck onto a generic Chinese lathe. The result is sometimes a 'play' on old US names, with names like 'Hartford' on Chinese clones of Bridgeport Mills, and names implying quality, strength, or similar attributes. Any number of marketers put their labels or names on these lathes. These are a common design made by a variety of factories in China (or Taiwan if one of the better lathes). However, before the thread is locked, I will say say that the 'Goodway' Lathe is one of what might be termed 'generic Chinese lathes'.
I regret to say that posts about Chinese lathes are a forbidden topic.
