Apron slide fitting

With the apron carriage fitted and adjusted and no spares left in the box (!) it was time to fit the apron. Nothing of any significance here and once you have fitted the adjusting strips to other axes, then this one becomes easy.

On the underside of the carriage were two studs – on broken and one not:

I could not work out what these were for until I tried to fit the stop clamps. I the realised there were there to stop the clamps dropping off the slide. Obviously one in the past was subjected to more force than necessary.
