"Safety" apron as fitted to the last of the original geared-head Triumph lathes. The push/pull knob to select either power sliding or surfacing was in centre of the apron's front face and the engagement lever, which could be adjusted by turning its handle to vary the load under which the feed would automatically disengage, in the middle of the apron's bottom edge. Interestingly, the two pictures above are the only ones known to show a "black dial" toolroom-specification lathe.
