SOLUTION: Mass blocks 5A, 5B, and 5C with considerable weight can move in a cross direction. A fork F is fixed on the mass block. A long bolt 13 is disposed above the mass block, and a nut block 15 is screw-jointed with it. Bosses 17B, 17C are fixed to the mass blocks 5B, 5C, the boss 17C is engaged with the nut block firmly, and the boss 17B is engaged with the recessed part of the nut block with a clearance of 25 mm. If a handle is turned to move the boss 17C and the mass block 5C (as well as the fork F which is fixed to it) by 50 mm, the boss 17B and the mass block 5B (the fork F) moves by 25 mm.
