Part of speech:
n. The part of speech reflects that used in the
full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: It is extremely important that the points S and L of each spiral should be secured by permanent monuments in the centre of the track, and by witness-posts at the side of the road. The posts should be painted and lettered so that they may serve as guides to the trackmen in their subsequent efforts to grade and “line up” the track.
