Ok, you wrote Logan and I read South Bend. Hmm....
I think the mechanism is the same. And "How to
Run A Lathe" is still worthwhile.
Fortunately, you have an additional resource. Scott
Logan supplies a lot of parts and information for
the lathes his grandfather built. He has this web
site, http://www.loganact.com/dir.htm . He also
runs Logan Acuator, a real company.
