Correct option is C
The
headstock is the part of the lathe that houses and supports the
spindle, along with the
back gear,
driving pulley, and other transmission components. It is located on the left-hand side of the lathe and is responsible for transmitting power to the spindle, which in turn drives the workpiece. It is the primary component for power transmission and supports the machining process.
The tool post is used to hold the
cutting tool during machining operations. It is mounted on the carriage and does not carry the back gear or driving pulley.
The bed is the
base of the lathe and supports the headstock, tailstock, and carriage. It provides alignment and stability to the various components but does not house the back gear or driving pulley.
The tailstock is located on the right-hand side of the lathe and is used to support the workpiece during machining. It also holds tools like
drills,
reamers, or
centers for specific operations but does not carry the back gear or driving pulley.
