Between this bracket and thetool rest are the universal joints which permit the of the tool slide. The driving shaft revolves con-stantly in one direction until the direction of the spindle isreversed at which time it ceases to operate. This valuablefeature results from the use of a clutch between the camand the driving shaft which is operative in one direction only. There are three cams provided in addition to thechange gears, giving the attachment an extremely widerange. The cams run in an oil bath and are located directlyin front of the tool slide, permitting them to be readily in-. American Uathe, Showinq End Relief Attachment. terchanged. Possibly the most important and valuable feat-ure of this new attachment is that which permits the toolslide to be operated at every 30 degrees, thus providingtwelve operating positions within a circle.
