Le cœur d'une lourde roue de chariot, le moyeu, est tourné dans de l'orme bien sec. Sa forme bombée, qui ressemble à un petit tonneau, permet d'y monter deux «frettes» à chaud. On le fixe sur un cadre pour y tracer les mortaises des rais qui sont alors percées et creusées. 2, record 1, French, - cadre%20de%20pr%C3%A9hension%20verticale%20pour%20roues

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Gaiting straps are put on a horse to keep his rear end in line. I’ve put them on trotters on both sides. Sometimes they’ll throw their feet out pretty wide into a wheel or the sulky, particularly on a half-mile track where they’re going at a terrific clip around the turns. A lot of good horses that I’ve raced had to wear gaiting straps over a half-mile track. A gaiting strap catches them up along the stifle and keeps them from throwing their foot out. 3, record 3, English, - gaiting%20strap

The idea of an exacta wheel is that when you have one horse to bet in an exacta, you "wheel" him on top of all the other to be 2nd. Exacta wheel wagers may be made in $1 increments. Let's call a wheel bet, with our horse being n° 7. You say :"$2 exacta wheel, n° 7 with all. " 2, record 4, English, - wheel

Wheeling a horse is coupling him with every other horse in the race to win an exacta or quinella, or with every horse in the other race to win a daily double. Obviously, if your "wheel" horse wins, you’re winner since you’ve got all bases covered. 4, record 4, English, - wheel
