The lockpin enters the next slot under the action of a spring. The pawl is raised by the spring and engages the next tooth . The cam B frees the form cutter head, which then desc ends to its initial pos ition under the action of a spring. The head is held in this position by a strong spring. This term inates the machine cycle for one main- camshaft revolution. The process is repeated until the first cutte r has milled all the tooth spaces . The s econd cutter is then engaged automatically. A dog P, fitted on the dividing- head three- tooth s e gm ent when the index plate reaches its initial pos ition. The s e gm ent is rotated by one tooth and, through a lever train, rotates the shaft on the cutter table , and the table is moved forward by a spring until the has finis hed its work and the index plate has again made a full revolution, the dog P m eshes with the s econd tooth of the s egment and rotates it. The shaft carrying cams I and J again rotates 12 oo. The cam J then loses con tact with the setting s crew (2 1 ) and the cutter head moves forward until the FIGURE 9.
