An MT-4 live center is the pointy thing that goes in the tailstock of a 
lathe.  The "live center" part means that the end of it rotates with the 
piece that's turning.  I think MT-4 means Morse Taper -4.  Here's 
information on Morse Tapers:  http://www.newmantools.com/tech/taper.htm

Here's a picture of a MT-4 Live Center on ebay:
