Leavitt's Head Holder. 



The head holder of H. W. Leavitt, Figure 243, is intended 

 to be used in connection with a chute or stocks which were 

 designed by the same inventor. The head is thrust through the 

 opening; the lever is then drawn over against the side of the 

 neck and secured there by means of an iron pin thrust through 

 a hole behind it. The rope is then dropped down over top of 

 neck and tightened by means of a self-locking ratchet and 

 windlass.
