My invention relates to a new and improved gibbed-way connection between the bed and carriage of an engine-lathe. 
Having described my invention, I claim: 
In an engine-lathe, a bed provided with two bed-rails, said rails on their upper surfaces being provided with longitudinal V guide rails, said rails having vertical guide-surfaces on their inner edges, and horizontal guide- surfaces within the bed, a carriage having V-ways engaging the said guide-rails, said carriage having a bearing-block projected downward between the bed-rails and engaging the vertical bearing-surfaces thereof, a bearing-plate within the bed between the bed rails having an upward bearing engagement against the horizontal bearing-surfaces of the bed-rails, and clamping-bolts securing the bearing-plate to the bearing-block, substantially as described. |  |
