Prazimat DLZ180 x 450 help

[peterw51]

Hi all, I have just bought a Prazimat lathe to have a go at making Steam engines, one if the skills I will need is screw cutting, I purchased a hand book to get the information, but I wasnt able to understand it but it did mention the chart inside the gearbox door, I looked but it is missing, there was a clean mark where it was! the machine is metric & I am sure it is a 2mm pitch on the lead screw. can anyone supply me with the missing information please.
The gear set up unusual as the quadrant has two spindles fixed so altering the gearing between the the spindles cuts your options!
If any one could help me I would be most greatful,
