I was reading a report on a (sadly no longer) Taylor six of 1894. This wa=
s a=20
'modern' installation in that it had a cast iron lowside frame, cast iron=

headstocks, etc. However, they stays were of normal type and the sliders=
=20
described as being 'metal blocks'. Preumably this means a metal block=20
sliding on a track. I've not seen these - can anyone describe them in det=
ail=20
and provide any other example - presumably they were only used for a shor=
t=20
time before Hastings stays became the norm.
