Abstract
Apparatus for remote handling operations in which a tool carrier is provided with elongate resilient members which permit transverse or lateral displacement of the tool carrier to thereby cater for misalignment between the tool carrier and an object to be engaged by a tool mounted on the tool carrier. During such displacement the resilient members maintain the axis of the tool parallel to the axis of the remainder of the apparatus.
