Lathe Feature Discovered!!

Daryl
1st pic shows the left feed stop at A and the 2nd shows right stop at B and hand direction control lever at C. The 3rd shows somewhat how it works. As the feed direction lever and shaft are turned There is a spiral thread at D and a bell crank at E that moves the gear or dog. The stop simply turns the feed direction shaft and moves it out of engagement.
