OK, I used this exact schematic to wire a Furnas R44 drum switch to a Harbor Freight 1hp motor wired for 230V -
It works perfectly, except the rotation is opposite the switch labeling.
I believe it's a matter of switching 2 wires - The question is which ones ?
I'm hoping it's easy, like swapping T4 and T8, but I don't know .......
Mark,@markba633csi are you there?

Thank You, Mark !
Is there a preference?
T1 and T4 are easy, as I can access them in the switch - T5 and T8 are harder, as I'll need to crawl into the machine, and get the motor out.
BUT, I'll do whatever it takes :~)
 
No preference, do what is easiest for you
Be sure to shut off power first
 
I just swapped T1 and T4, and away we go - Perfect !
I can finally button up this little mill.
Thank you, once again, Mark - And, BTW, be sure to let us know the publication date of your drum switch book ;~)
