Description:

Claim:

This invention relates generally to machine tools and has particular reference to apparatus for indicating the longitudinal feed travel of a lathe carriage. More specifically, the invention relates to an arrangement of direct reading dials, mounted upon the carriage to indicate accurately the longitudinal position of the cutting tool relative to the work. Length reading mechanism of this kind is employed primarily in turning multiple diameter work pieces such as shafting, to locate with precision one or a series of shoulders lengthwise of the shaft.
