Summary

This mount simplifies the installation and later removal (if required) of the widely-used Tortoise (by Circuitron) Switch Machines used for operating model railway points (also known as switches or turnouts). The slotted holes in the mount allow some side-to-side adjustment, in order to equalise the movement and pressure on the point blades in both directions. The mounting holes are along the track centre line which better suits installation on narrow roadbed. Most importantly, the Tortoise switch machine can be simply clipped in place and unclipped without disturbing the alignment.
