Note difference between round and arm. Number 1 indicates the loin back muscle; 

 2, the tenderloin; 3, the flank muscle. The tenderloin is very tender, but is usually not 

 considered as well flavored as the loin back muscle. The flank miiscle is cut lengthwise of 

 the flber and is relatively tough. In the roimd cut attention is particularly called to the 

 separate muscles, 4, 5 and 6, of the outside of the round. Muscle 6 is tender, but mus- 

 cles 4 and 5 are almost always tough.
