In order to stiffen the assembly a modified top slide was introduced. This had the clamping bolt in line with the slide whereas the earlier version had its offset well to one side, allowing a degree of leverage and hence spring to be introduced into the assembly. Note the thin nut clamping the top slide and the degree markings engraved around the circular base.

Modified tailstock with extended bracket on the base plate and a cast-iron clamp.

The simple knock-in pin which guided the barrel was moved from the front to the top of the casting.

New draw-in bearings - but still with the wooden (revolving) handle on the end of the backgear spindle.
