Description:

Claim:

This invention relates to automatic duplicating lathes which utilize a stylus to trace the profile of a template and, by responsive movements of a hydraulically operated tool slide, reproduce accurately the template profile in a rotating workpiece. The invention resides more particularly in a mirror system arranged to reflect an erect image of the template and stylus, together with a mounting structure by which the positions of the template and mirror system are related to one another and to the lathe to compensate for various operating conditions.
