9" south bend lathe bellows air motor auto feed

Subject 9" south bend lathe bellows air motor auto feed
This air bellows air motor came off of a production lathe
I do not know much about it other than the basics. It rapids to a position ( that you set with the adjusting knobs) then it feeds to another stop point, which you set, then hits a micro switch and retracts. I will include the micro switch (not pictured). You can also just use the forward/reverse buttons (the cover is missing) I tested it, and it seems to work as it should, I just do not know how to wire it properly (with the micro switch) There is a second wire coming out of the switch box, and I think it is for the micro switch, but I am not sure. I took this off a production lathe years ago and I cannot remember exactly how it goes. It was set up to move the carriage on a 9" south bend lathe. It was a secondary lathe used to put a break on the part.
I do not know its condition, or if it is working properly. I plugged the cord and the air in and it moved as described above. (except for the micro)
You can control the rapid points, feedrate, and stop point.
I was giong to keep it for myself but I never got around to doing anything with it.
If you have any questions please ask.
I may not be able to respond to your questions until after 5:00 pm
