Oiling arrangement ^ provided .*o tliat oil can befed to each individual tool. The cross slide moves on along, narrow, dove-tailed guide with wide flat bearing sur-faces on either side and has an adjustable taper gib tocompensate for wear. An adjustable hardened center stopis also provided. The cross feed can be operated in bothdirections by hand or power. Power rapid traverse is provided in either directionlongitudinally for the turret and is operated by a leverconveniently located at the front of the saddle. This fea-ture creates a great saving in time and enersiw Twelve. Fig. 2—Sliding Carriage Shewing Apron and Independent Stops longitudinal stops are provided, one independent stop foreach turret face and six stops, which are operatedby the knob at the right of the saddle. Power feedis provided for the cross and longitudinal movement toboth the side carriage and turret. The gear box at the headend of the machine furnishes ten feeds from 10 to are provided for the longitudinal movement and forthe cross movement a large micrometer dial with obsena-tion stops. All feeds can be reversed by operating leversconveniently placed in the aprons and within easy reacli ofthe operator. The bed is both deep and wide to give rigidity underheavy cuts and is strongly braced by crossed girths. Thevees are exceptionally large to .illow for the load of theapron and the side carriage. The pan is made deep andan oil reser\oir is attached. .^ perforated cover senses asa strainer and allows the oil to drain back
