Abstract
Abstract The advancement of a mobile track working machine from operating station to operating station is accurately controlled by the combined use of a control element actuatable by a selected track part, such as a tie spike or bolt, a signal pulse generator operatively associated with the control element and producing signal pulses indicating the distance of the advancement, and a signal pulse recording instrument connected to the generator and receiving the signal pulses therefrom upon actuation of the control element by the selected track part.
