Pictures of this restored slide rest courtesy of Phil Proctor Standard screw-feed compound slide rest assembly Type PR2. This was an exceptionally well made and beautifully-detailed item with zeroing-micrometer dials, built-in adjustable stops - and the choice of 20 TPI or 1 mm pitch feed-screws as well as the fine-feed 40 TPI ground thread fitted as standard. The English micrometer dials were graduated in 0.005" divisions. Most Pultra slides were fitted with ordinary screw-pushed gib strips but a number have also been found with tapered gibs with adjustment screws at front and back. These may have been produced for heavy-duty production work, or simple as an experiment to see how well they held up in service.
