Description: |
| It will thus be seen that by the use of my invention the feed may be stopped at any desired point.
By the introduction of my improvement one mechanic can direct the running of several engine-lathes at the same time, and that, too, without danger of spoiling the work by allowing the feed to run too long. Heretofore upon nice or particular work it has been usual to confine the attention of the mechanic to one engine-lathe, whereas by my invention one mechanic can tend several lathes, thus accomplishing two or three times the labor in the same length of time, besides doing the work with greater accuracy and uniformity, since no mechanic can stop an engine-lathe so accurately as it can be done by machinery.
