Description: |
"Our invention has for its object to connect and disconnect the feed of lathes, &c., in a more simple and efficient manner than has heretofore been accomplished; and it consists in the employment of peculiar swivel or 'union-jointed' nuts, so arranged in connection with friction-clutches that the gears which operate the side and cross feeds may be instantaneously thrown in or out of action, as may be required." |
