Monarch Tool-Room Lathe
(The big hand wheel moves the carriage left and right, the smaller hand
wheel moves the cross-slide with the cutting tool in and out.)
![the knobs and dials on the lathe](lathe2.jpg)
Other knobs and handles turn the lathe on, engage automatic power feeding
of the tool into or across the work piece, and also enable the
lathe to cut scruew threads. ( Threads. . . the spiral ramp around the
outside of a bolt or on the inside of a nut.)

Computer controlled lathe. Also know as a Numerical Controlled Lathe
(N/C). The term N/C was coined back when machines were controlled by paper
tape. The tape had holes punched in it that represented the Numbers and
Control codes for a specific machine.

The modern computer handles all the functions of the old paper tape N/C
systems much faster.
