The switch reverses the start winding. More than just the 2 live mains feed wires are involved. Hopefully the motor will have a cover over the input wires and under this the terminations of the start winding will likely be identifiable and accessible at terminals. These have to be extended to the switch. Internet should explain but perhaps not territory for the unfamilar. If you get it wrong a short could damage the switch. All earth connections must be maintained continuous
If the motor is just some modern adapted appliance motor there may be no provision to readily access the start winding.
I havn't had to think about such matters for 55 years so will leave others to interpret the somewhat obscure diagram.
Lathe sounds like a great find. I know the brand as it was in 1930s from old Model Engineer mags. i recall it being somewhat lighter than a Myford. Several may be interestd in a photo.
