This image shows where the threading dial is on the 15" lathe. It drives off the leadscrew and you absolutely have to have a threading dial to do threading. (except there is a way to thread without a threading dial but is more involved).
My old Von Wyck had no dial increments on the compound rest. So I rigged up a dial indicator for that. And the cross-slide graduations weren't real accurate so that bar going across the top of the carriage has a dial indicator on it. Between those two indicators you could actually do some nice work with the old boy.
