These werebrought out to supply the demand for lathes on which a largevariety of work must be done that requires continual changingof feeds. Care was exercised in the designto enable the operator to obtain the quick-feedchanges in the simplest possible manner sothere would be no undue friction; the devicecontains the minimum amount of parts, thusrequiring the least amount of care, andassures long life to the lathe, and, in addition,the mechanism is provided
