Thanks, Dylan. It looks like a motorcycle maintenance, e.g.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Nov 1, 2006:
šoupadla I forgot, there's a bit more context, a few lines further down:
Páky poz. xxx dotáhnout šrouby poz. xxx tak, aby šoupadla poz. xxx byla při zadní poloze válce poz. xxx v celé šířce 0,5 mm pod horní hranou poz. xxx.
There should be a drawing to illustrate all this, but I haven't found it.
Dylan Edwards (asker) Nov 1, 2006:
Not much context. There's no other mention of "šoupadlo" in the rest of the document. The other instructions are about tightening screws and adjusting other components.
Pavel Blann Nov 1, 2006:
Actually, "šoupadlo" is also a slang term for a fire arm carried on duty.
Pavel Blann Nov 1, 2006:
Is there any context? There are many types of "šoupátko".
Igor Seykora Nov 1, 2006:
Yes, it is a variant/synonym of šoupátko.

Slide valve

I think that the proper Czech word should be "šoupátko".
Note from asker:
I'm now checking through the whole job and will look out for clues as to whether this is a valve. I hope to find a drawing illustrating the šoupadlo.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you. "Slide valve" is what I used in the end, because it seems that this is how most people would understand the word. I pointed out to the client that there are problems with lack of context here and at other points in the text."

slider

A more general term if there is no context.

The additional context is still too general I'm afraid. Other possibilities:

sliding part, sliding piece
Note from asker:
I don't know if the additional context I've given throws any more light on this. Perhaps it's a "slider" or "sliding component".
