I put a couple of pictures on the dropbox that are of an attachment on
the back of a lathe I just aquired.  It looks like a taper attachment
of sorts but isn't.  It's an alumnium extrustion with two mounts onto
the back of the lathe bed.  One mount close to the headstock end has a fine
adjust knurled hand wheel that seems to precisely align the rail to be bed.
The travel in the fine adjust is probably only 1/4 inch, if that.  Anyone
have a clue what it might have been used for???

Agree with Andrew,the brackets are definitely Hepworth copy attachment
brackets.
I have a pair kicking about if anyone in the UK wants them.The rest of
it looks like a short DRO was fitted.
