Raglan Mk. 1 Capstan: based closely on the standard "Little John" centre lathe
Available in various configurations, the version above is shown fitted with the optional power-feed turret slide; power could also be provided to the apron together with an automatic knock-off, actuated by a four-station rotary stop. The cross-slide was also fitted with rotating, multi-position stop (the knob to change the setting can be seen just to the left of the cross-feed handle). Fitted with the normal Raglan mechanical variable-speed drive, the headstock also had, in addition, a lever-operated multi-plate clutch. The standard speed range was 290 to 1750 r.p.m but, when fitted with the optional two-speed motor, ranges of 95 to 585 r.p.m. and 275 to 1670 r.p.m. were also available. Various special versions of the lathe were offered including a Brass Finishers' Turret Lathe, illustrated below. 
After the introduction of the "Raglan Five-inch" centre lathe the Capstan was developed into a Mk. 2 version - a machine that included elements of the new design and was further improved by the fitting of two electromagnetic clutch units to speed up the engagement of  high and low spindle speeds. 

Optional power feed to the Turret Slide and Apron was through a feed-shaft driven by a two-stage V belt from the headstock spindle.

Brass Finishers Turret Lathe The turret, which could be swivelled, was quickly advanced by the usual capstan handle but could also be moved slowly forwards by a handwheel on the end. A cross-feed was fitted and a form of external thread chasing was also available for this rather special machine.
A Thread Chasing Attachment (illustrated below) was also available for this lathe, enabling the rapid production of external and internal threads to be achieved quickly and easily by semi-skilled machinists. Raglan termed this method of thread production "Hob & Drag".
