So I think it does but just want to check what the more learned folks think. I've not put the change wheels on so this is all just spinning freely.
It's a 1930s Colchester Master.
I've figured these out (I think!):
Left hand lever is saddle(?term?) lock. Bottom leaver is disengaged, up-and-left to power-feed the cross-slide, up-and-right to power-feed the saddle.
Here's what I think will happen with the paraphernalia over on the gearbox end of the lathe...
The bottom axle feeds the saddle and transfers power to either the saddle or cross-slide, when it's engaged like this:
If the bottom axle is pushed back it disengages the drive from the top axle, so halting the power feed:
If that's correct then I just need a clamp to fit on the bottom axle, which the slide will crash into, push the axle out of engagement, and disable the power feed:
Is that correct, or am I way off?
