Abstract
Method and apparatus for depositing roadway material on a road bed using a road paving machine having a spreader for laterally spreading the material and a screed for leveling the material. A guide underneath the spreader and the screed is used to control the height of the screed above the road bed. The guide also confines the width of the material deposited by the road paving machine to less than the width of the screed which is normally the standard width of material deposited by the road paving machine.
