Here is what the Van Norman looked like when I first bought it before rebuild.

Gear blanks and bracket on band saw table. 3 down and 8 to go. The large one will have 100 teeth.

Another view of Universal Head.
Dividing Head with all 12 gears and bracket for spiral cutting.
This shows how the gear train hooks up to cut spirals and the table travels and the dividing head rotates.
Another view of the same hookup.
Well here I am holding a newly designed bracket for the gear train. This in more like the original Van Norman bracket.
