Wings, which are spreading sides, hooped to the perch and framed to the hind beds.
Nunters, or small framing pieces, which help to bind the hind beds together.
Hooping-piece. A piece of timber scarped and hooped to the fore end of the perch to secure it to the
Wheel plate, which is the circular iron beneath which the fore carriage turns.
The fore carriage consists of the fore axle beds, into which are framed the
Futchells (French, fourchil, a fork), which are the longitudinal timbers supporting the
Splinter-bar and the
Pole, to which the horses are attached.
The hinder ends of the futchells support the
Sway-bar—a circular piece of timber working beneath the wheel-plate.
