Accidents sub-section

Just added a citation to an earlier Supreme Court case involving turntables to the Accidents section. Not sure if we should keep/merge the information with the Chicago B. & Q.R. Co. v. Krayenbuhl case, but I didn't want to just delete the discussion of Krayenbuhl out of hand. Rdxtion (talk) 23:55, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

title change

I wonder why this article was moved, in June 2011, from Turntable (rail)? As shown in the body of the article, the thing is known as a "turntable", not a "railway turntable", so the correct Wikipedia title is the term by which it is known, with a disambiguator. The disambiguation page at Turntable (disambiguation) should, I suggest, include the rail version alonside the record player at the top of the list as the two near-primary usages of the word, but when the rail version is called "Railway turntable" it runs the risk of even being removed from the dab page as a "partial disambiguation".
