Mark You have made a lovely job of the Clayton. I am trying to draw the Clayton in solid works at the moment and I am using the model engineer articles but I cannot find any ref to the slide shaft bearings. Do yo have the details of the bearings or can you tell me where you found the details. Mike

Gus If you want a copy of the page that was missing I have the original drawings and would be happy to email you a copy of the missing page Mike
