English term

M/B

English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering crankless press
What can possibly M/B (written this way, with a slash) mean in these terms:

M/B Location Device Ass'y
M/B Stopper Ass'y
M/B Drive Ass'y
M/B Cover Ass'y
M/B In L/S Ass'y
M/B In Stopper
M/B Clamp @ Lifting Ass'y
M/B Rail Ass'y

The text is an operator's manual for a crankless press (metal forming) in Korean English full of non-typical abbreviations, acronyms, and most unusual exppresssions you could ever imagine. I managed to decipher what they meant in most cases but am sick of guessing.
I will not be able to ask the Korean company since the translation was ordered by a Polish customer to an agency who commissioned it to me. The manual does not provide any clue as to what M/B might perform because it is used in a list of drawings which are not included themselves.

I will greatly appreciate any smart prompt.

Thank you, Ahmad. I have already checked many acronym finder. The problem with this text is that its authors demonstrate extreme creativity in making new abbreviations or acronyms of their own. I managed to decode many of them based on the text. But there is nothing there that could help me or at least start the bells ring.

Thanks, Catharine but I don't think they'd put Maintenance Bulletin Clamp & Lifting Assembly referring to a drawing
