Those prices for manuals are ridiculous- especially because most times 
they dont help too much.
First- I would post on the Practical machinist site, asking for info on 
the change gears, and  a good reference book.
www.practicalmachinist.com

second, if you havent already got it, buy How to run a lathe, the south 
bend book. Usually only costs around 10 bucks.
I buy old machining books used whenever I find them, often for 10 or 20 
bucks, and many of them discuss the change gears, which usually are 
pretty similar from lathe to lathe.
