Signal Tools

INTRODUCTION The present handbook is primarily intended to cover the modern tools and equipment for Signalling discipline based on their usefulness. Prior to the preparation of the handbook the problem related to the use of the conventional tools in the field and its possible replacement have been studied and discussed. To meet the desired end some of the tool manufacturers/suppliers have been contacted and their address have also been incorporated in the list for reference. Owing to time constraints and other limitations CAMTECH could locate only limited manufacturers/suppliers. As such, the list of manufacturers/suppliers indicated for any tool provided in the handbook is in no way exhaustive and the Railways/ Indenters / Users/ are free to explore for the availability of more manufacturers/suppliers in the open market. The budgetary estimated cost for the tools is subjected to variation on account of market factors and / or number of units purchased. Further the power operated tools being operated on 220 V AC can suitably be re-designed by manufacturer for operation on 110V AC/ DC (which is readily available in yard) to meet the feasibility criteria. Thus at the time of procurement of tools, based on its merits, the above factors also need to be carefully looked into.
