Clamp Locks

The document describes Point Operation Method 3, known as the Clamplock method. It involves using additional hydraulic rams and lock bodies to move the points via a lock arm mechanism. The lock arm links the points and uses micro-switches to indicate the position of the points and lock the points in place. Diagrams show the lock arm and drive lock slide moving the points through opening, closing, locking and unlocking positions.
