Narex 3

Frog adjustment on this plane is exceptionally easy.  Just undo large knob and rotate vertical adjuster to move frog forwards and backwards

 

Marples X04

This plane from the 1950's, made by Marples, in Sheffield has a combined frog and tote.  Adjustment of the mouth is by two screws just behind the front knob, sliding the mouth adjuster plate forwards and backwards.
