ABSTRACT:
A tray is mounted in a framework for sliding between extended and retracted positions, and has a separate drive adjacent each of the opposite sides of the tray. The drives on the opposite sides of the tray are effected through friction clutches so that one of the drives can be stationary and slipping while the other drive continues to move the tray. Reference stops are provided to orient the tray against the stops each time the tray is retracted.
