Hello everyone.
Just made an account, but have been using this forum for a while.
I just bought a 16" Monarch lathe helical gear with threaded spindle so probably around late 20's to early 30's. (Its been seen here before)
There is an extra lever that I have not been able to figure out. I was told by the previous owner that it was a brake, if its a brake its either damaged or not working properly or it might have a different function. So far I have not seen this addon lever on many other Monarchs on this forum or in documents that have been uploaded for these older models.
Picture attached.
