Hi Art, Sorry for the poor descriptions. The True Measure has two parts, a 48"x 4.5" fixed base, and a hinged 4.5x 4.5" pivoting piece (which I called the "slide").
Make that a "drop door opening fixture". They come in pairs, and attach firm at one end of a 90° slotted arc. The other attaching point is a bolt through the slot loose or partly tightened to control movement of a drop drawer covering a shallow shelf. This door in the designed cabinet use generally has a pair of light chains to stop the door at a 90° drop, exposing the shelf. I use mine with the fixed end down on the base and the traveling part attached to the sole plate of the measuring device which gets moved to square up the score lines of a club face. Have I confused you more? Colin Colin Dick- Chairman of The Devious Ways and Means Committee.
