scope:
This part of this European Standard covers the following subjects: -geometric design prindiples for wheel guidance; -definition of basic limits of supply; -applied forces and their adequate support; -tolerance levels. These are illustrated herein by application to a turnout. The main switch and crossing components are represented in turnouts and the principles used in turnouts apply equally to more complex layouts.
