Michiel, I know what he meant, thank you. There are reasonably good (although, admittedly, not necessarily) close up photos of the said device there.

Thank you Snautzer and Sidney for your kind help.
It's difficult from pictures to know the correct shape, lenght or width...
I hope that technical designs would exist somewhere...
Good Sunday

From the photos in my computer files it appears that at least two types of device were used. But sorry, I have no deffinitive close ups for you.
