| Description: |  | Our invention relates to that part of metal turning lathes known as the "feeding" mechanism and it consists in means for actuating the "feed-rod" directly from the "leading screw" when both are held in bearings fixed to the bed of the lathe, whereby we are enabled to obtain a greater range in the variation of the "feed" than is possible by the methods now in use. |  |
