How do i cut 10tpi threads on a craftsman 101 6in lathe?

I agree, the charts are a pain. I've made up a folder of photos showing the gear positions for the threads I'm reasonably at risk of wanting to use (including 25 and 33 to approximate 1 and 0.75mm pitch metric). Here's the page for 10 TPI (please note that the gears are not to scale - I took one photo for each basic setup and just changed the numbers to indicate the correct gear to use at each position).
