17th Century lathes: how did they work?

Benny, many thanks, already passed to the student. She's learning a lot of vocabulary in a hurry...
Ben -- I found the book and sent her the link; looks really interesting
Cooter -- thanks for the reminder! I have a '30s edition of the South Bend book; offered to loan it to her.
Matthew -- that is an amazing piece...passed on to the student.

And yes, guys, it would be nice to see a young woman enter this hobby/profession, but this one is a scholar in design history and will be a professor, hopefully with us, in future years.

thanks for the help!
