I think you're referring to the slide on my compound miter saw that I have folded up and hooked to the wall.

The upper arm allows linear movement of the head.  Currently I have it aligned with the X axis, but it can be set at any angle.  Since this pic was taken I've added a DRO on the X and Y axis and also on the upper arm so I have as much travel on the X axis as a full sized BP.

Paid $400 for it and hauled it out of the WVA panhandle.  The overhaul can be viewed here:

Before I found this one I'd never heard of a Fray.  There's a good description of the company & their mill lines at lathes.uk.  They were built in California from the 1930's to the 1950's.  Mine uses a BP built head and X axis feed box.
