The further ends of the links f carry a pivoted nut i, through which passes a spindle h partly threaded to engage the nut and partly squared. The upper end of the spindle h passes into a bearing j pivoted in the bracket g, and is secured against endlong movement by a nut and collar The lower squared end of the spindle enters a sleeve k, which carries a bevel pinion l. A bevel-wheel o secured to a shaft n meshes with the pinion l. The shaft n is mounted to slide endways in its bearings, and is normally held to the right by means of a spring p, thus causing a ring of teeth r on the back of the bevel-wheel o to engage a clutch sector q, which is mounted on a sleeve turning freely on the shaft n. The sleeve is provided with arms connected by a link z to an arm y extending from a rock-shaft x operated by a double-ended treadle w. In the operation of the machine, the heel-post is first roughly adjusted by turning the shaft n by means of a hand-wheel t, the shaft being pushed inwards to force it from the clutch q. If any further adjustment is needed, such as to raise the heel-post to cause the wipers to press more heavily on the work, the treadle is depressed, causiog the sleeve carrying the clutch to turn and so turning the bevel-wheel o. In a modification, the rough adjustment is given by turning the heel-post, which is screwed at its lower end and fits into a pivoted nut carried by the links f. The second adjustment is given by a treadle, which is arranged to turn the bevel-wheel o directly. The toe-rest is similarly mounted and adjusted.
