It's almost impossible to get a straight answer online from
Google; l so, I asked Jeeves. Not much better, but I did discover an SAE
code:
"SAE Code J684, Section 6.3.1 reads: Two lengths of Safety Chain or
equivalent shall be used. They shall be connected from the opposite sides
of the trailer tounge to the towing vehicle and when passing forward to the
towing vehicle, shall be crossed under the trailer tounge in such a matter
that they will cradle the trailer coupling and tounge in the event of
separation of coupling or ball."
Whoever put this on the page obviously re-typed it, mis-spelling
"tongue" consistently <BG>.
