Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | Spanish term or phrase: Ancho sobre pasamanos | In the specification sheet for a type of locomotive (the 319.2 series), one category is "dimensiones nominales", within which there are 3 elements.
The first is "Ancho sobre pasamanos - m." I understand that we're talking about the locomotive's width, in meters, but I don't know what "pasamanos" refers to here (or even what "sobre" refers to, here!)
Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this matter! |
