Field notes
The controller example labels a sample part RAIL-TOP, 28.750 inches, 22.50°, and 4 of 12; this is an interface example, not proof of a running installation. The company identifies itself as a brand of Auto Fence LLC and traces “Nellinghof” to a hamlet in Oldenburg connected to the founder’s ancestors. The stile center and calibration station are explicitly marked in development.
