Abstract
A class of bearing plate structures for slidable engagement with a reference bar include a plurality of plates each having a precision machined surface for sliding engagement with a corresponding precision machined surface of the reference bar. The use of a curable hardening bonding material to attach adjacent portions of the plates together allows angles between adjacent plates and the operating gap between the bearing plate structure and the reference bar to be easily set and fixed with reference to the reference bar.
