Abstract
Large structure lateral hydrostatic guidance system, particularly suitable for realising the lateral guidance system of the elevation axis of a large telescope made with at least two guide rings, characterized in that all the hydrostatic supports are tilting and floating and have a hydraulic preloading chamber acting between the base and the runner, connected together so as to achieve an isostatic and uniform sharing out of the loads acting on the structure.
