Very carefully :-) This pic http://www.eugeneleeslover.com/PAGE_56_Figure_5B10_C.JPG shows that there was a bit of a relief groove. Cutting speeds in those days were slower (no carbide). They may have simply run the parts slow enough that a rapid-retract toolholder could pull clear in the time it took to travel the width of that groove.
