Spindle-mounted dividing assembly - a very rare accessory offered only until the late 1950s. Note the tripe V-belt drive and the very early design of clutch control, made in the form of a rod that extended the full length of the bed and allowed the operator to reach it from any working position.

Another style of dividing accessory available even before WW2. An equally rare type but this time carried by a top-slide mounted single-swivel vertical slide. Because the vertical slide was mounted on the top slide its mounting boss was hollowed out to provide clearance for the (optional) 4-way toolpost indexing pawl.

Taper-turning unit. The cross-slide screw (at least on later models) was telescopic, which eliminated the need to remove the cross-feed nut when using the unit. A taper length of up to 11" could be turned at one setting.
Note the unusual position of the tailstock barrel clamp, horizontally across the top of the casting, on this late 1940s version of the L5.

6-station Bed Turret. Used for repetition or quantity production work the unit fitted the lathe bed and could be operated even with the standard carriage still in place. On the longer-bed models it was possible to move the standard carriage to the tailstock end of the bed and fit a separate cut-off slide (not illustrated) so further improving the machine's work capacity.

15-inch diameter faceplate for use with the gap piece removed. The maximum swing in the gap is 17" on the 9-inch swing lathe and 18.75" on the 11-inch swing lathe.
