Grizzly G4003 Spindle Rotation Control

I remember wiring in an old Summit lathe (hate those things) and had forward rotation with lever down, as I thought it was supposed to be. Turns out that is wrong, and the oil pump was being driven the wrong direction and was NOT pumping oil up to the top of the headstock. Good thing I didn't leave it wired backwards! At that time, most of the lathes I had run were properly run with lever down = forward, so I thought it was right.
