Explanation:
Même s'il ne s'agit pas de pluviomètres ....
Godet basculant.
Le godet (basculant) comporte un interrupteur à contact (momentané)
Ce qui veut dire que chaque fermeture du circuit compte pour
un godet plein basculé = un certain volume d'eau
d'où l'utilisation pour les pluviomètres.

pointe de touche


Explanation:
I think that it's pretty much a synonym of 'contact' given the sentence that follows: they refer to the tips as 'these contacts'.
pointe de touche is all I could find but I'm really not sure of it; I hope it helps some.
Good luck!
