A substantial metal block runs along a flat plate, this plate is superbly m=
anufactured.=20

They have conventional stays, but the lower stay bolt also secures a tradit=
ional forged style wheel stay like the ones fitted to wooden headstocks. Th=
e normal type wheel plates are not present. 1953 is the date of rehang, has=
anyone seen these older wheel stays on a "modern" job?

last rehang. Simon Adams will know more about them.

I was reading a report on a (sadly no longer) Taylor six of 1894. This =
was a=20
'modern' installation in that it had a cast iron lowside frame, cast ir=
on=20
headstocks, etc. However, they stays were of normal type and the slider=
s=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 d=
etail=20
and provide any other example - presumably they were only used for a sh=
ort=20
time before Hastings stays became the norm.
