When the lathe left our factory, the transporting agency issued a bill of lading, a receipt indicating that the machine was accepted in good order for shipping. The lathe becomes your property upon payment of the freight charges and surrender of your bill of lading. Before accepting the shipment, check the lathe to be sure that it has not been damaged in transit. If it has been damaged in any way, the shipment should be condi- tionally accepted from the transportation company with the provision that it be subject to thorough inspection.
When you have determined the extent of the damage and have placed your claim with the transportation company, we ask that you forward us complete details and our traffic department will help you expedite. In uncrating and preparing your Regal for operation, follow the instructions contained in the section on "Set- ting up, Leveling and Running a Regal". Be sure to loosen the carriage clamp screw - it has been clamped to the bed to prevent movement during transit. Also follow very carefully the leveling instructions given. Even some of the best mechanics do not realize how important this is.
Although the bed is heavy, it can be sprung easily, and all the care taken in manufacturing and inspection is wasted if insufficient attention is paid to leveling. 5
