Union manual pillar drill automatic advance piece missing

[Dragnet]

Has anyone got a good drawing or photograph of what the piece missing from here is supposed to look like, and what attaches where please? The rest of the drill is very smooth and it would be nice to have all bits working properly.

Thank you. For some reason that link didn't work but I found the thread using that title. It wanted "https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/union-hand-drill-refurbishing.92402". It seems they're quite popular! I'll see what pieces of thick bar I have...

I have one somewhere with a missing base but the advance mech might be there.
