lappet affixture


Explanation:
I kind of like the idea of using lappet here, given that the source seems to refer to tongue. And then affixture as opposed to attachment.

switch blade working point (or point of application)


Explanation:
Die dritte mechanische Haupteinheit ist der Zungenangriff. Seine Aufgabe ist es in erster Linie eine Verbindung zur beweglichen Zunge herzustellen. Des Weiteren hat der Zungenangriff eine mechanische Stützwirkung und sichert somit die anliegende und die abliegende Zunge. [20

Die Bezeichnung "Weichenanlagen" ist nach Oberbau-Richtlinie(OR) als Sammelbegriff (Oberbegriff) für Weichen, Kreuzungen und deren Komponenten zu verstehen.

The Illustrations show two oblong holes (slots) crosswise arranged as "Kreuzschlitz" and the position for attachment of the "Zungenverbindungsstange" (point-lock plunger) called "Zungenangriff".

Found also "throw bar"

The switch points of tram lines are often operated remotely by the driver.
:
The points (switch rails or point blades) are the movable rails which guide the wheels towards either the straight or the diverging track. They are tapered on most switches, but on stub switches they have square ends.
:
An example of a mechanism used at a switch. The two points are linked together with a throw bar. The throw bar extends to the lever on the near side of the track, which is used to throw the switch.

I propose:

"Der Zungenangriff erfolgt mittels Kreuzschlitz nach OR 14.3.3.3.4.
Der Zungenangriff kann aus einem Stück gefertigt oder angeschweisst sein.
=>
"The switch blade working point is shaped as cross slot according to OR 14.3.3.3.4.
The (switch blade) working point can be machined from one piece or welded on.
