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.
