Show 1847: Potter's wheel question

The caller intended to attach the wheel directly to the output shaft. Ray said a welder would probably have to weld on a flange. There’s no differential. The wheel’s plane from what I understood is oriented 90 degrees to the output shaft.

Edit: I got to thinking I’d read about this issue before here. Maybe this was the thread.

It may be that the gears don’t need to be lubed in this application.
