    Couple of old publications "How to run a lathe" or "Keep your lathe in trim" are basic, but good reference for the starting-outer @OP.
    Hear! Hear! I've got the South Bend manual "How to Run a Lathe" which includes messing about with change gears.

    Tony at lathes.co.uk recommends this manual for the Grayson type/generation of lathes. Recognise the tool holder type? I also just notice a dog with a straight tail being driven by a bolt in the face place.

    Thanks or the offer mimms2, but I've actually got three different sized dogs. What I'm missing is the studded faceplate that originally came with my lathe, see the circled item below. I can of course just put a bolt through my holed faceplate (like the one mounted in the image) to drive my dogs but it's still nice to have the complete kit.
