BEARING-REIN 



CH. XI 



The Bearing-Rein is made in the two forms 

 shown in Fig. 93. The pulley bearing-rein, A, 



Fig. 93. 



requires a special snaffle, having a roller or pulley 

 attached to it. The bearing-rein is buckled to a 

 point or chape on the crown-piece, passes through 

 the pulley (being made round for the purpose), and 

 then through the ring of the gag runner, termi- 

 nating in a ring to receive the flat portion of the 

 rein. This flat portion is looped over the centre- 

 hook of the pad (p. 220) ; its length is adjusted by 

 the buckle shown at the right-hand side of Fig. 93.
