Mechanics / Mech Engineering / From a bending tool manual
Swedish term or phrase: Tvärskena
The components which make up the bending tool (Bockverktyg) include the body (main unit), a hand-lever and a tvärskena. I have a picture of it - the closest translation I can come up with is "crossrail" but I'm not sure if there's a standard translation for this. It's basically a metal strip with holes for screws. Thanks.

Explanation:
This is the translation in a railway context, but could possibly be used to here to convey the correct meaning?
