chaises de réglage

French to English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
We are still with the railways!
Now we are pouring the concrete and setting/laying the points and crossings.
Contaxt: L’implantation des appareils est réalisée élément par élément. En raison des contre aiguilles, le nivellement du cœur et des aiguilles s’effectue par fil, avec des chaises de réglage positionnées sous le rail.
I think I have most of it but what on earth (or on rail!) are "chaises de réglage" ???

"FIG. 1 is a top view on a ready mounted switching arrangement including a stock rail 1 and a tongue rail 2. The hydraulic driving station is denoted by 3, wherein hydraulic units 4 and 5, which are connected with each other and with the hydraulic switch actuator 3 by means of hydraulic lines 6, are provided in two further switching planes. As is apparent from FIG. 1, no projecting built-in parts that might impede or complicate the packing procedure are present, wherefore trough sleepers 7 whose structural widths correspond to the usual structural dimensions of concrete sleepers are employed. FIG. 2 depicts the switch actuator as positioned within such a trough sleeper. The hydraulic switch actuator is again denoted by 3, wherein the transmission of the forces necessary for the displacement of the switch tongue is effected via elastic connection elements and/or crowned bearings. To this end, a fork-shaped bracket 8 is provided, in which a pin 9 having a cambered jacket tube is arranged. The tongue rail indicated at 2, which is guided on a SLIDE CHAIR (my caps) 10, is connected with a cranked strap 11 which engages in the free space between the pin 9 and the bracket 8 in order to transmit the switching forces. Elastic connection elements may be arranged therebetween, enabling a play-free force transmission and, at the same time, a slight pivotability of the actuating drive relative to the tongue about an axis extending in the longitudinal direction of the rails and/or a plane extending parallel with the plane of the rails. Said pivotability takes into account that deformations of the preassembled switch during transportation as well as during the packing procedure cannot be prevented."

levelling shoe

From memory the supports for lines are called "shoes" and in this case adjustable in height
