| | pivot | Explanation:
A significant invention was the pivoting of the front wheels of carts. The pivot allowed the cart or wagon to turn quickly within a very small radius. A lightweight coach with small front wheels, indicating a pivoted assembly, was first mentioned in writing by a French knight, Bertrandon de la Brocqučre, who visited Hungary in 1433

Piu' avanti, nel testo, si parla anche di miniere. E' un lungo brano, leggi se hai tempo. Spero aiuti, non me ne intendo. Io sto uscendo a cena!
Approfitto e saluto tutte voi che state lavorando fino a tardi. Agree con Maryrose sulle tue traduzioni wild & esoteric! ;-) |

Explanation:
I think this is the term you want, given the "vagoncino" and "binari" involved. Good luck - you have taken on yet another wildly esoteric job!

Explanation:
if it is "perno di guida" or in this case "perno che serviva di guida' I think they are referring to a guide pin or pilot (pilot punch).
