9. The feed screw of the table rotates through a small angel in a direction _____ to the ram.
a) parallel
b) perpendicular
c) anti-parallel
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: As the crank disk keyed to the shaft of Bull gear rotates, the lever oscillates about the fulcrum movement of the lever in the anticlockwise direction results in the pawl engaging with the ratchet wheel and rotating it through a fraction of a rotation. When this happens, the feed screw of the table rotates through a small angel in a direction perpendicular to the ram.
