kontrollinjale

Swedish to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping Points/switches on a railway line
Hello

Does anyone know the right word for this please? I just can't seem to find it.

Växelomläggningsdonen (växeldriven) består i huvudsak av en elektrisk motor, växellåda med friktionskoppling, kontrollkontakter samt kombinerad omläggnings- och låsstång och kontrollinjaler.

it is clearly to check that railway points/switches have been correctly repositioned.

Thanks

PS if you ever thought a train was just a carriage on wheels, think again !!!

@ all I went for Deane's reference as it's not the gauge but the positioning of the points that are checked but thanks to everyone who helped. Deane, can you post your reference as a suggestion please?

rail profile gauge

Found a measurement device to check the gauge. This could be it. See YouTube link.

A quick check only ... see if this helps. The technical description is close to what I found for 'linjaler'
