The apron was reduced to the elements of simplicity - with just sufficient metal to support the bronze clasp nuts and the carriage traverse handwheel.

Substantial, cast-iron handwheels with well-shaped finger grips.
The swivelling action of the top slide was locked by screws at each side of its base.

Above and below: T slots in both cross and top slides (the latter an optional extra) and the built-in threading indicator with its dial showing through the right-hand front wing of the apron.
