First location means 12 are locate the carriage at a plurality of fixed positions along the bed and second location means 16 locate the support 4 at a plurality of fixed positions along the bed. The drive coupling is such that when the carriage 3 is located in a fixed position along the bed operation of the drive 9 causes the support 4 to move along the bed and when the support 4 is located in a fixed position along the bed operation of the drive coupling causes the carriage 3 to move along the bed." |
