The aforementioned four operating rods. Again, the top is the leadscrew, used only for threading;
the second from top is a keyed drive rod, used only for drive for turning and facing; Second from the bottom is the
dog-clutch rod, which has three positions, forward, neutral and reverse; and at the bottom is the clutch engagement rod.
The lever shown here is fixed, while a second rod travels with the carriage. The support, in the middle of the
photo, has been broken and repaired... and then broken again.
