Question - how is the name of his job?
He must check the correct fastening according to the rules of loads. We said loading master in Germany however I do not know if such a job exist yet at railroads.

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the position in the US is carman, or possibly just a laborer. The Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society magazine had a number of articles by a guy who worked in this specific job. He checked the dimensions and fastening of loads like this, but he also normally performed routine maintenance on freight cars in the yard.

I onece worked as a electronic technician in a "lab" in the middle of a cross doc warehouse for a major copy machine manufacture and the posistion of Load Master was to check to see if the trailers were loaded with the load evenly distributed as well as what trailers were ready to load and unload incoming and out going.

Today I received an info that description of my "ship propeller load project" has published in The Keystone Modeller - spring issue.
If you are interested than start a PDF-download and read on page 22.
Thanks.
Here yet a detail picture that I have not published before, I think.

Thank you very much to all.
I have had the great fortune to find a 'translater' for my texts in my not so good English.
