Caroll dividing head question....

There are only 3 dividing plates on this dividing head for the ones that face you in the picture, I have never seen replacements for the plates on the spindle. The only non standard plate for the crank side is an angular indexing plat, a rare item indeed. You will need to find a tailstock for this unit to make it much more useful, especially for work between centers, using it for chucking work is limiting, try to find a center for the front taper with driver, these are not so hard to find, the above post says that the gearing and dividing head would be used on the right hand of the table, this is incorrect; it would be always be used at the left end of the table.
You are correct, the other right hand also known nautically as the port side...
