ABSTRACT:
A vehicle turn-table (10) comprises a detector (60), which has a device for calculating the position of a vehicle to be driven accurately onto a table (30), and a turning table (30) which turns in response to the calculating device of the detector. A pair of movable belts (40, 41) are provided on the table to lead the front (A, A') and the rear wheels (B, B') of the vehicle to the table, and if, when the front wheels of the vehicle are on the detector, the vehicle is out of position, the calculating device calculates a center point of the vehicle, and then computes the turning direction and range of the table from the center point. The table (30) is then caused to rotate until the wheels of the vehicle and the belts are in alignment.
