the trans /gear box was a stander deal on the old lathes like i said i had a henley lathe with one they could been from a car but mine never had any thing on it like a name on the box . for belts or flat belts well yes you can get hung up in a belts but if that did not get you the dog drivers or chuck or part you are turning can fly out or drive screw feed gears can pull you in there not toys they deserve respect just like a gun any one wearing a tie on or any long chain or loose stuff around any mill. drill press or lathe is asken for trouble . when i was in school kids had long hair the teacher told stories about kids getting hair rip out with a smile on there face .you can mash a fingers just getting the chuck off the machine
