locking. The body girth (1) is made of leather and strong. 

 This girth carries a lock buckle (3) on each side, also two 

 "D's," to which the chains are attached. Over the loins is a 

 heavy leather strap (2) for the purpose of fixing the hind legs 

 in a flexed position after casting. This strap is prevented from 

 slipping backward by its attachment (15) to the body girth.
