Steady Rest & Follow Rest

I have the detaileddrawing, but it's not legal to post here. I don't have rights to the drawing.
I will find the magazine link and post soon. I'm sure the model/drawing can be adapted to a 12" lathe.

The cam followers are from McMaster Carr. Too bad your not in the states (I have several dozens good used ones).

I finally found the link, first it was 1978 popular mechanics instead of 1954 popular science magazine (see link below for dimensioned drawing).
