B&S-0 dividing head disassembly

[steamer]

Hey all,

Has anybody disassembled a Brown and Sharpe #0 dividing head....and have some pictures?

I am trying to understand the spindle, as I have an idea that I am researching...

I have a old drawing that shows the spindle as a constant taper, but a modern opinion would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Dave

Hi Dave,
I have a Vertex #0 clone dividing head. I'm thinking that it's probably a copy of a B&S or fairly close. I have scanned my drawing and attached it.
