Found myself a nameless lathe i'm trying to restore with a back gear and now i finally know what those gears do. Great thanks!

It's 3am and I randomly had a thought, I wonder how the back gears actually function in my hercus 9... and here we are. Thanks haha

I have a south bend 9" lathe and it works same as your late. Much better built than the cheap Chinese lathe they are selling today.
