Apparatus for supporting a machine on a foundation to allow for expansion of the machine including a plurality of devices, each device comprising a first plate member having a contact face having a series of parallel corrugations and a hole, a second plate member having a contact face having a series of parallel corrugations adapted to fit the corrugations on the first plate member and a hole, a layer of resilient material located between the contact faces of the two plate members and a securement member adapted to extend through the hole in the first plate member in a tight fit and adapted to extend through the hole in the second plate member in a loose fit to allow the second plate member to move relative to the first plate member in the direction of the corrugations, this securement member being a bolt having a fixing means for securing the bolt to the machine, this fixing means being spaced from the portion of the bolt extending through the second plate member and the bolt is capable of elastic deformation to allow the machine to move relative to the fixed support.
