See photos. The machine is said to date from 1840. The table is moved back and forth by a crank whose stroke is adjustable on the bevel gear. There is no fast return mechanism. The bevel gear is driven by the shaft seen under the bed. The shaft is driven by a belt - note the fast and loose pulleys and the belt shifting device. Part of the feed mechanism for incrementally traversing the tool can be seen beneath the table.
