1 hr confidence: 
coupling recess Explanation: In fact, you're quite right - it is merely the hole in the buffer-beam through which the coupling fits. This sounds a little more up-market than "hole", but you could use that too. "On the face of the cross-member there is a hole located next to the coupling recess..." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-01-17 18:07:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- BTW, the "Pufferbohle" is known as the buffer beam, or headstock. Source: the dictionary published by the UIC, the International Union of Railways. And of course if you DO use this, you avoid using "hole" twice in five words... (hole next to the hole) |
