Abstract: In a cutting machine tool, a spindle head rotatably carries a vertical tool spindle, and an angle spindle attachment is detachably mounted on the lower surface of the spindle head. The angle spindle attachment carries an attachment spindle adapted to receive a cutting tool holder and rotatable by the tool spindle about an axis inclined relative to the axis of the tool spindle. The attachment spindle incorporates therein a draw bar mechanism wherein a draw bar is axially rearwardly urged by the resilient force of springs. To advance the draw bar against the springs, the angle spindle attachment is provided with a push rod movable in a horizontal direction. A thrust direction converting mechanism is further provided in the angle spindle attachment to axially moves the draw bar when the push rod is axially moved by an unclamping device. The unclamping device has an actuation rod, which is horizontally moved by a cylinder device to effect the axial movement of the push rod.

Abstract: An information transmission network in which a plurality of information processing stations are connected in parallel to a bus line is disclosed. Each station has a communication control means and an information processor. Each control means is capable of establishing command over the bus line to the exclusion of all other stations. While command is established, the commanding station can communicate with all other stations. After one sequence of communication, command is transferred. If the station presently in command fails, the failure to transfer command in a predetermined time will be noted and another station with highest priority will assume command. If the station to which command is transferred is not operating properly, the station presently in command will detect a failure of the former station to respond to transfer of command and will thereupon transfer command to another station.
