that would be on the older models ... I guessing but I belive different type of engagedment too . We have an ole 13" south bend at work with the star knob a bit scary when it doesn't disengage .. I believe that's why it was improved to the lever . Not sure exactly what years they changed it but my guess would be late 50's early 6o's.
what year is your lathe and what model ?
