e feed is disengaged. On the periphery of disk _D_ are also clamped dogs or cams _N_, which operate a horizontal swinging lever _P_ connected by a link with vertical lever _J_, which controls the two spindle speeds with which the machine is provided. Either one of these speeds can be automatically engaged at any time, by adjusting the cams _N_ on disk _D_. Lever _H_ connects or disconnects the driving pulley from the shaft on which it is mounted, thus starting or stopping the machine. The square shaft _G_ serves to operate the drums by hand and is turned with a crank. The rotation of the turret, which takes place at the rear of its travel, is, of course, effected automatically. A dog, which may be seen in Fig. 32 at the side of the bed, is set to trip the turret revolving mechanism at the proper point in the travel, to avoid interference between the tools and the work. The turret is provided with an automatic clamping device. The mechanism first withdraws the locking pin, unclamps the turret, revolves it, then throws in the locking pin and clamps the turret again. =Example of Work on Automatic Turning Machine.=--The piece selected for illustrating the "setting up" and operation of the automatic chucking and turning machine is shown in Fig. 35. This is a second operation, and a very simple one which will clearly illustrate the principles involved. In the first operation, the hole was drilled, bored and reamed, the small end of the bushing faced, and the outside diameter finished, as indicated by the sketch to the left. (The enlarged diameter at the end was used for holding the work in the chuck.) In the second operation (illustrated to the right), the enlarged chucking end is cut off and, in order to prevent wasting this piece, it is made into a collar for another part of the machine for which the bushing is intended; hence, the outside diameter is turned and the outside end faced, before cutting off the collar. In addition, the bushing is recessed in the second operation, and the outer end faced. In order to have the surfaces finished in the second operation, concentric with those machined in the first operation, the chuck is equipped with a set of soft "false jaws" which have been carefully bored to exactly the diameter of the work to be held. [Illustration: Fig. 35. Simple Example of Work done in Automatic Chucking and Turning Machine] The first thing to determine when setting up a machine of this type is the
