noted, this is apparently why the railway fishplate gets its name. |

Also, it might be worth mentioning that the term fishplate is sometimes used generally (outside of railways) for any flat piece of metal |

bolted to more significant members to join them. Compare with the builders' use of noggin for a piece of wood used in a similar way? |
