Schaublin-style Cross Slide?

[undertinker]

I noticed Schaublin lathes have a cross slide where the hand wheel is mounted on the moving part.
I don't think it's exclusive for Schaublin and I don't know a name for it.
I wonder why it's done this way, if it has any inherent advantage (and possibly trade-off?). I'd appreciate any clue/information on the subject.
Thanks!


PS: I link a page from lathes.co.uk to illustrate what I mean https://www.lathes.co.uk/schaublin65&70/

EDIT: Changed handle for hand wheel

Which handle ? Are you talking about the way lock ?

Sorry. I meant the hand wheel to move the the cross-slide, on schaublin it moves with the slide, as opposite to "normal" cross slides where the hand wheel is mounted on the saddle.

Never paid it any mind but they are the same as the Hardinge cross slides and compounds .
