Great  pictures Larry!



I agree!  These pictures brought back memories of my old high  school machine 
shop.  We had two lathes, a horizontal shaper, and a drill  press being 
driven by an over head line shaft.  This line shaft system was  driven by an 
electrical motor.  Over each lathe, there was a horizontal  wooden bar which engaged 
the drive pulley.  This bar had three  positions: left -- reverse, right -- 
forward, and the center --  neutral.
Again thanks for the pictures.  They were good memory joggers.
