Qn the end of shaft 11T is a bevel-gear 123, rigid with said shaft, and driven by means hereinafter described` To permit of angular adjustment of the utter-frame it is sleeved on trunnions 124-125, and the desired adust-ment is efiected by a'n-'orm-wl'leel lill ll 126, secured to the frame by pins 127, and actuated by a worm shaft. 128, the worin'- teeth serving as means for locking the frame against movemcnt after it has been adjusted.
In the hearing,r 12: of the arm 12l depending from carriage (3, mounted the hn'o 129 70 of a gear-ease 12S), said huh being tlanged at its inner end at 1292. In this huh is jorrnaled a sleeve 13() flanged at 130', and is splined at 131 to the driving-shaft, said sleeve being reduced at its end opposite the flange 130 to rcceive'a hevel-gear132 held in place h v a nut 13?. Rising from a lateral extension 129 of vthe gear-case 129 is a tubular extension 121-1, and in said extension is mounted a hearing 135 closed at its upper 8G end by a dust cap 13o. ln thc hearing a sleeve 13T journaled, and tir said sleeve. is keyed a hcvcl-grar 1218, said bevel-gear being in mesh with the gear 1252 aforesaid, as illustrated in Fig. 9, and said sleeve is keyed to a vertical shaft 1351 passing through the hearing. (ln its other side. the extension 131 has a plane-surface 12111', and resting against said plaine-surface is a har 110, hc d in place h v a groovcd cap 111 secured 90 to said plane surface hy screws 11;'. 15eneath the plane-surface the, lower part of the extension and thc top of the gear-case are cut away at 143 to permit. of thc extreme downward movement of the ba r. The sleeve 13T and tinshal't 13E) constitute together an extensible shaft. Designated hy 1-11 is another gear-casc, which protects a bevel-gear 145 on the upper end of the. shal't 139, said bevel-gear engaging a companion gear 123 100 on t'he shaft 11T for actuating the gearing for driving the milling cutter. This gearcase is extended at 144 to surround the gear 123, and is suspended by a hearing 146 from the sleeve-hearing 11S, around which 105 it has a rocking,r movement. Depending from the gear-case 144 is a sectional hub 147, in a horc of which is mounted a sleeve-hearing 14S through which thi` shaft 139 passes, and on its front .side this huh has 11G a plane-surface 117 against which the upper part of the bar 140 bears when secured in place b v a groovcd cap 1411, and screws 150. A sectional housing for the shaft 139 is thus proVided-the hanger 147 constituting one 115 part of said housing, and the tubular extension 134 the other part thereof.
lVhen the cross-slide 8 is moved in or out on the way of the carriage 6 b v its .screw 9, Y binding of the gearing would he' liable to 120 Occur unless provision were made to prevent it, and by clamping the binder-rod tight at one point and b v permitting it to slide freely in one of the caps, for instance 111, at another point it. will be seen that the neces. sary rocking movement of the parts for driving said shaft 117 is provided for, and there will be no cramping of the gears 123,
132, 13S and 145 when the cross slide is adl )usted t lot-nte the cutter with relation to l .shaft lit; (Fig. t'`).thert,h\4 rotating said shaft the work, and .free runningy of said lgears :nul

In this-position of the parts the latch 82 will engage the lug 82 of clutch-yoke 60 'and will lock the clutch 5. '54 of shaft- 51 in' a neutral position. Vlhen coupled as just described and the clutch 14 is in its engaging positionfsliown in Figs. 4
and i8, power will be transmitted from th driving-shaft l2, through the pinion S9' keyed thereto, to. the gear 89 rigid with the tubular shaft 25, and 'said .Shaft will .he ro- 40 tated, and the gears 85, 86, 8T and 8S, which are loose thereon,will remain idle. lVhen,
how-sever, one of said gears is connected toits shaft by the clutch-dog 91 (for insta nc e, the gen1' 85 as shown in Fig. 5) said gear will,
46 of course, rotate with the shaft 25, and in the instance given hy inter-meshing with the gear 21 (Fig. 4 and 18) will rotate the sleeve. 12?. and the gears 21, 21', El, Q1 rigid with said sleeve, and as the clutch 14. in the in- 50Y stance given. is in engagement With-the lnili of the ,gear "J2:l said gear will alsovhe driven -liythc sleeve, and in turn will drive the end gear V rigid with the sleeve 252 loose on the shaft 25.

This pinion 30 drives the gear 34 keyed to the sleeve 32, liaise on the stationary sha ft l l! i i l l cngages'the worin-wheel rigid with the and thi-(nigh the worin Iii thereon driving the worin-wheel 3S on shaft. 2?!) Said shaft. f.arryin t thc fixed pinion 43 in nieslrwith the gear 11 ot the spindle 1t). Rotation of the chuck-spiinlle haviircr thus taken place power is' transmitted from said spindle through the change-gearing described and illustrated in Fig. 1t to the lead-screw 58, andiit. will traverse the carriage t and the cutter-flame' at the speed selected for theY work inV hand.
To drive the spinde from the lead-,screw the screw T52 (Fig. ll) is released, the knob on the rod T5 is grasped and the clutch 74 is shifted to engage the huh ti, carrying the scf-nient t'i2. thereinJ locking said huh to the shaft til, and said .screw again tightcned" to hold the rod in plate. -When the clutch is shifted to the left in the manner just described the angle-lever Tt'- is rocked to swing the lug (i of the T-head of lever T8 into line with the. end of'plnnger S3', and to carry the lug n' of said T-head awa vY from the plunger 83, which is then immediatelj)T advanced hy its springr Sl to canse the latch 81 to engage the arm 50` of fork 50 and lock said.

E52), said reverse Maese rotation and higher speed being transmitted to the lead-screw through pinion 65 gear (ifi and change-Gears 69, T0, "land "2, see Fig. 11. Whenthe spindle is driven from 5 the lead-screw, a quick return of the carriage is obtained by throwing the clutch 54 into engagement with the gear 52. said gear being driven in a reverse direction and at a higher speed thanthe worm-Wheel 55, by
l0 the pulley 48 through gears 49, 44, and 53.
This increased speed and reverse rotation are transmitted to the lead-screw through shaft 51, the Ipinion 56 keyed thereto and gear 57 rigid with the lead-screw.
With the variable-speed sets of gearing l described provision is made for twenty-four changes in speed of the lead-screw and spindie, but these sets may be variously changed to ati'ord a greater or less number of speeds 2O without departure from the invention.
As the carriage slides along the bed in either direction the hub of the bevel-gear 132'1noves with it along the driving-shaft. 1Q, and the gearing for actuating the cutter spindle is driven in the direction desired,
when the clutch l is in engagement with either of the oppositely-rotating bevel-gears 1Q() or 121, but when said clutchA is shifted to the'neutral posidon shown in Fig. 8 the .80 cutter will remain idle.
As above stated binding of the gears for driving the cutter-actuating gearing is prevented by the construction ully described and illustrated in Figs. 1, 9 and 17 when the cross-slide isi adjusted by its screw 9.
lt will thus beseen that either the spindle or the leadscrew may be driven one' from the other and in eitheiforward or reverse direction by the mechanism described and 40 .that a quicklreturn movement may be imparted to the carriage and cutter-medianv ism when desired. 'e
Changes ma}T be made in various details of the mechanism'shown and described without departurejrom'the invention, and likewise, various locking or stop devices may be substituted foithose illustrated in Fig. 14 without departure therefrom.
