Style L Motor-Driven Universal Milling Head. Able to be used in place of the ordinary unit to support horizontal cutter arbors, the Style L carried a 2 h.p. 1450 r.p.m. motor that drove a gearbox to give a range of 16 speeds: 44, 71, 98, 112, 158, 170, 210, 250, 340, 378, 466, 540, 750, 815, 1200 and 1800 r.p.m. Final drive was by spiral bevel gears with the transmission spurs gears heat-treated, profile ground and lubricated by splash from a sump provided with a level glass. The end of the assembly carried a double-swivel head with the No. 40 taper spindle running in taper roller bearings and held in a 3-inch travel quill. Early versions of the overarm were fitted with a fine-feed handwheel that was not only awkwardly positioned but tricky to operate, being concentric with the spindle and moving the quill though a screw and nut. Later, this arrangement was completely redesigned to include a handwheel working through worm and wheel gearing with, as an extra-cost option, the addition of a quick-action lever feed.
