If you have looked at the photo of my later model Lot 5 you will note the clutch lever is now located differently.? This drive only has one clutch for on and off function.? The motor is operated by a large forward reverse?switch mounted on the back side of the drive vertical column?and is operated by moving the wood handle you see on the back side of the lathe.? It's a bit odd that not only did the drive have a clutch but the motor start stop and reverse function was controlled by a switch.? Answer,? The clutch freed?up the countershaft from the silent chain and motor making it easier to rotate the spindle by hand for setups. This lathe was found at the very tip of the ponisia that runs North from Green Bay up into lake Michigan.? Was owned by a retired teacher that had had it for over 50 years but had never set it up to run in all that time.? He said he did move it three times in the 50 years.? So for sure this lathe has not cut a chip in over 75 years.
