. Patent traversing machine. The improvement consistsm applying an oscillating frame, forming an inclinedplane, up which the carriage is run, and which, whenbrought to a horizontal position, can pass over the

rails. Its claim to superior efficiency arises from its notm any way interfering with the fixedness of the perma-nent line of rails Fi gs . i and 2 repl .esent a side eleya-tion and plan of this traversing machine

To the sides(g g ) of the oscillating frame are attached the rails (j i )upon which the carriage is supported during its removalfrom one line of rails to another.
