For operating on short pieces only, the lathe illustrated in Fig. 268, by J. Archdale & Co., of Birmingham, is of great utility. The arrangement is neater and stiffer than that of a short, slender bed mounted on two standards. The cabinet leg and the tool-tray are convenient, and the cantilever bed is rigid. The headstock spindle is hollow, with an inch hole, or larger if desired, and the bearings are conical in the smaller size and parallel in the larger. The chasing appliance can be swung back to make way for the capstan, which holds six tools. The carriage is racked by hand, with a longitudinal traverse of 15 in. The turret-slide has a traverse of 9 in., and a transverse traverse of 9| in. It can be set for turning or boring taper. |
