guy/guying point Explanation: I think this is abstecken as in "to anchor, secure"; from what little context there is, I assume the boom needs to be secured on the vehicle, or its parts to each other If you google for this term, you''ll see uses with masts etc. |

locating/mounting holes Explanation: I am assuming that you text deals with a boom whose length is adjustable by means of two sliding elements. These will have holes drilled at regular intervals, into which a locating/mounting/fixing pin is inserted to adjust the length. This procedure is known as 'Abstecken'. In this kind of application, the term 'Bolzen' in German used to describe a large pin, not a bolt. If the 'Sicherungen' are linch pins, this would confirm my assumption. As the pins are removed from holes rather than from points, I suggest using that. |
