Section 1.—ANCHORING.

(See also [p. 10].)

[1938]. Rock anchor for suspension bridge chain or a guy.

Sea anchor; any floating body (immersed) presenting a large area to the water, as a spar and sail, quantity of bulky cargo, or raft of timber.

Concrete anchor: masses of concrete are used as anchors under water, or sunk in the ground.

Portable machines are anchored by attaching movable weights to the legs or base plates of the machine, also by driving stakes into the ground around the machine.
