A rail repair dutchman is typically a 4–6-inch (100–150 mm) long piece of rail that is cut in advance for the purpose and carried by a section crew. If the gang finds a rail with a chipped or broken end, they remove the connector plates ( fishplates ), cut out the damaged section, replace it with the dutchman, and bolt the connectors back ...
A self-aligning nut, also known as a spherical nut [2] or leveling nut, is a type of nut used in applications where the fastener is not perpendicular to the surface to which the nut anchors. A flange nut is used inside a specially shaped dished-out washer. The device is commonly used in the aerospace industry.
A split beam nut, also known as a split hex nut [1] or slotted beam nut, [2] is a locknut with slots cut in the top that separate the outside end into two [3] or more sections that are bent slightly inward, making the thread diameter undersized in the slotted portion.
