Bill, David,
Thanks for the replies. They have been most helpful. From what information I have been able to find, it appears that at some point in time, Ellis made some design changes to their dividing heads. I purchased a reproduction manual for my Ellis, and it clearly shows the quick indexing unit held on by screws. Bill, it appears that yours is cast into the body of your Ellis, or was I not able see the screws holding it on? Take a look at another picture I found and a couple of photos from the manual I purchased. Hopefully that will help clarify the issue.
