BTW, based upon an Atlas price list dated 01 Feb 1966 that I just acquired, we need to back up the introduction date of the 3985, 3986, 3995 and 3996 to at least Jan, 1966.
?
Also, if you study the illustrated parts lists for the 3991 and the 3996, you will see that the apron itself is a different part number.? The shaft that fits into the gear that drives the gear on the cross feed screw is different, and has a bushing that looks like it was installed on the shaft before the shaft was peened into the gear.? This bushing is not shown on the 3991 list.? I don¡¯t know whether it wasn¡¯t there or was omitted from the list.
Dave, while it is just the standard 1968 OEM bracket, easily adapted to earlier models I will be glad to take some pictures and send them along. Shop is warming up so it should be soon!? Bill in (Frigid) CO

Hi Bill,
Got a picture of it on your lathe?
I don't want a science project but a step up from bent sheet metal should be pretty easy!
