A point and mate is also known as a single point switch.  The diagram on the link below shows the location of the point and the mate.

The attached photo shows a single point switch at Humber Loop in Toronto in 2003.

I'd really like for someone to explain the difference between double 
point and point-mate so a novice as myself can understand. Perhaps a 
photo of point-mate alongside a double point. Thanks! Very nice photo 
of Tylerdale Jim! When was it taken?
