Is an old school lathe in this context hand cranked?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

The Lathe of Heaven (1971)'s title is a reference to a Chinese philosopher from the 4th century BCE

So I've always pictured a manual lathe

i was actually thinking foot-cranked - i feel like some oldschool lathes, pottery wheels and such have a foot pedal to control/power the rotation so that you can freely use both hands
