Lathe restoration SN20

Pics are a little small...but slide won't move off carriage until nut from cross screw is detached. To withdraw screw, the bearing supporting handle end also has to be freed from housing, it might go to backside, rare on engine lathes. With 'tapered lock piece' [the gib] some side to side clearance should be present. Unless everything is disconnected it'll shake but nothing else.
